Dance Your Way to Their Hearts, But Not With These Moves

One good idea for a date to make it extra special is by going into a club and go dancing. This is specially good for people who knows how to bust a move. But for some who have two left legs, it's still okay as long as you know what you are doing. You are having fun with you date, at the same time burning some unwanted calories to have you looking better. But most of us are scared to go to the dance floor and get embarrassed. But we here at Dating 4-1-1 have just some tips on what dance steps you should avoid to at least minimize the damage. You don't have to be a talented dancer to impress you date, as long as you don't dance your way to their hearts with these killer (literally) moves.

1. The Moonwalk
Though this dance step was popular back in the 80's, just like Michael Jackson who perfected The Moonwalk, this one is so out. It may have lost it magical charisma on people at the same time Jacko started having problems with all those lawsuits. Unless you are some astronaut, don't be caught performing this move because you are a couple of steps from being the laughing stock of the crowd.

2. The Achy Breakey Line Dance
Admit it, you have performed this dance routine at least once in your life. But unfortunately, even if vintage stuffs and revivals are the thing today, there are just some things that should be left buried at the back of our heads. If you even so much try that first step for this dance, it's like having zombies walking the planet because no one definitely wants to see this redneck trend.

3. The Back Spin
Unless you're a 13-year old boy or a professional B-boy posse, you should never ever try to do this dance move. For once, this is not really the move when you are in a club trying to impress your date. Secondly, this move really didn't caught on during its time so don't even think of reviving it. And lastly, this dance move will definitely have you visiting your chiropractor.

4. Hammer Time
There are several reasons why MC Hammer is not in the music scene anymore, probably becoming one of the biggest one-hit-wonder of all-time, if not the biggest. And this dance move is one of those reasons. You getting caught doing this move is equivalent to admitting that you are one of this one-time rapping sensation's undying fan. And besides, it's hard to do this move if you are not wearing one of those oversized and and overly baggy pants.

5. The Ickey shuffle
Named after its inventor, Ickey Woods who was a running back for the Cincinnati Bengals, this dance move caught on as one of the most popular touchdown dances in the history of the sports. However, The Ickey Shuffle is best left on the gridiron being performed by football giants that are overly-charged with testosterone.

6. The Sprinkler
It's understandable to imitate moves popularized by pop stars such as Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, even Madonna. But for crying out loud, don't even try a move that got its hype during the Stone Age, just like The Sprinker. It's so old, your grandparents may have used it to impress each other.

7. Raise the Roof
Just like the Ickey Shuffle, this dance move should also be left for athletes, this time to basketball players. And besides, this dance move didn't even get popular back in the days so don't even try putting it back to the limelight.
8. The Butter Churner
A dance move is lame if it involves mimicking actions of Amish, probably one of the most boring people you can ever meet. This monotonous maneuver is just clockwise movements of the arms, much like when you are churning butter. For that reason alone, people should just leave this move to the Pennsylvania Dutch.

9. The Dice Shaker
There are so many God-forsaken dance moves out there that are just cheesy simulated everyday moves. From Fishing Pole to Milking the Cow, and don't forget The Butter Churner, the world is just being plagued with insane dance steps. But nothing compared to the Dice Shaker. Unless you are some addicted gambler who can't stop your arms from flailing about, this one should not be introduced to the dance floor.

10. The Running Man
The mother ship have landed. This is probably the most annoying dance move anyone can ever do, which involves, well, just running. This may have been the hippest and hoppest hip hop move back in the days, but this one definitely died together with that eras so-called icons like MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice. It's coffin was sealed when a 60-year old First Lady in the form of Laura Bush performed it in front of a huge crowd. So basically, don't do it!

There you go, just some dance moves you should stay away from to assure that your night of dancing with your lover goes on smooth with no forms of embarrassment, for you and them. It doesn't matter if you don't really know how to dance, as long as you move on the dance floor and not do these lousy and lame steps.
