Make sure to be clear who's the follower and who's the leader. If you're the follower, then be respectful and pay attention to cues that the leader is giving you. The dynamic will feel a lot more natural and your dance movements will flow really well. If you're a natural leader when you dance, just let your partner know that so you can feel more relaxed, use your natural instincts, and let go.

Expert Answer

You can get better at rolling the hips by practicing slowly making a "figure 8" with your pelvis. When you roll your hips, focus on moving them side to side. Stick to swinging your hips in rotations that are between the width of your shoulders. Also remember to tilt your pelvis forward and backward to get a better feeling for all the different directions that your hips can move in.

Question

How old do you have to be to dirty dance?

Community Answer

I don't think there's a specific age requirement for dirty dancing, but you would probably get in trouble if you tried it at a middle school dance, for example.

Question

How can I avoid somebody dirty dancing with me? Or what do I do to stop dirty dancing if I'm already in the middle of it?

Community Answer

If you want to make a polite excuse, just say you're thirsty, or you have to use the restroom. Otherwise, just feel free to tell the person, "I don't feel comfortable with this," and then walk away.

Question

How do I know if I impregnate someone while dirty dancing?

Pinetree

Community Answer

You can't really impregnate someone while dirty dancing if there's no contact between your genitals. For a woman to become pregnant, sperm must enter the vagina and fertilize the egg in the fallopian tubes, so it's unlikely she would get pregnant.

No, you cannot. You can dirty dance, but you have to wear clothes in public.

Question

Would it be acceptable for a dancing couple to pull off their partner's jacket, shirt, or even a dress worn over another layer? Like in those dance contest TV shows?

Beatrice Canary

Community Answer

Yes it would, but only in a somewhat appropriate way. Also, make sure that the partner knows you are going to do this beforehand.
