My name is Monika and I help adults, men and women, get over their dance floor fears and start enjoying dancing in social settings. If you would like to become more confident when dancing in public I am hosting a free masterclass where I'm going to teach you how to become comfortable on the dance floor, whether you're dancing in the club, at a wedding, at a party. If you're interested in joining my masterclass stick around until the end of this video, I'm going to show you how to do it then. First of all, when the slow song is playing you have to match the energy of your movements to the energy of the song, otherwise it won't make sense. The first one we're going to set it up with the feet apart and you're just going to shift weight. Now shifting weight, I love this move for slow songs because first of all you don't have to follow the beat, second of all anyone can do this. First thing we're going to do is we're going to bend the arms and we have to add something with the upper body, so this time I want to add a little shoulder move. Here we're going to pretend like the movement starts with the shoulder, so you're going to raise it slowly and pretend like the shoulder is dragging you to the side until you shifted the weight onto one leg. Then you switch the shoulder, so then the other one is doing the dragging and keep repeating that. It's up and down, up and down. This is what you don't want to do, big moves. It's not about bringing the shoulder up all the way, it will look crazy and you want to avoid sharp moves, so even if the move is small but you're doing it like that, not good either. Instead keep the movement nice and small, raise the shoulder just a little bit and you want to slow it down, so think of it as if you're moving in slow mo. The moment one shoulder drops, the other one already starts going up, so then the movement is continuous and that adds to that smoothness. The next variation for today, also pretty easy to do in place. We're going to start with the same setup but this time the shoulders will be doing a little bit more. We're going to smooth the movement out doing a shoulder roll. You will start with your left shoulder up, you're going to lift it, roll it back and you shift the weight to the left and then switch. When we do the shoulder roll back, the body moves the same way, so you're still following that shoulder that's currently doing the roll and you're shifting weight towards it from leg to leg. Let me know which move do you like better, which version with the shoulder just coming up and down or with the shoulder roll. Put one or two in the comments below. For the next movement, again we're starting with the same position, just imagine you don't have any space in the club. Keep the weight on one leg, so let's say it's your right leg if you mirror me and you're just going to bend the knees as you transition the weight to the other side and at the end you straighten both legs. At that time you're standing on one leg. The other one is touching the floor but the weight is shifted to one leg and then we'll reverse it. You're going to bend the knees first and then come up when the weight is shifted. Let's try a few more times. We have down, up, down, up. Now this one is what I would call a neutral version. If you don't want to add the hips you can do just that, you will look smooth. But if you want to make it a little bit more smoother, more smoother, more smooth, but if you want to smooth it out you can add a little hip motion to it. It's up to you, your preference, whatever move you like better. The version with the hips, we're going to start the same way. You're essentially starting on one leg, then as you're shifting the weight you bend both knees but when you come up you will push the hip out to the side. Maybe not all the way, you know, because you might feel stiff or stuck there, but just a little accent with the hip and then switch it the other way. Down and up, down, stick the hip out, down, stick the hip out. If you do choose the version with the hips, definitely do not keep the arms down because simply you cover the hips so then there's no point of moving them. So keep the arms nicely bent, loose by your side, they don't have to move. Later on, once you master the hip move, you can let the arms go side to side with them, you can do some kind of roll, right? You can bring the arms up and down. Last option would be again shift of the weight, but this time I'll do something a little bit more difficult with the upper body. We're going to do a shoulder roll forward. You will feel uncomfortable at first but bear with me. So again, you start on one leg, weight is shifted, as we're going to the side you're going to take the opposite shoulder to where you're going. So let's say if you're going to your left, you're going to rotate your right shoulder forward. So bring it up, set it up, and then as you shift, roll it forward and drop when the weight is shifted. Let's try that the other way. So now the other shoulder goes up when you start the shift, goes forward and down when you finish the shift. Up and roll, up and roll. You see? Again, neutral version. I'm not doing anything with the hips. What you can add to it is a little torso twist. I think it will help you move actually. So rather than keeping the torso straight, let it twist with the shoulder. We're going to dance for the entire song in a second, but before that, if you feel like you don't feel confident dancing in front of other people, you're dreading the dance floor, I am hosting a free masterclass where I will teach you how to get over that in three simple steps.
