Tips for dancing Grind

First of all, I want to say that I love to grind, and in this article I will try to give you my best tips for grinding.

I’ve been grinding with girls for about fifteen years, since I was about twelve or thirteen. This is one of the best types of dances to meet girls at a club or dance. It works especially well for those who are shy to go upstairs and talk to girls, because when you dance, you let your body do the talking. If you get good at grinding, the girls will love your company and won’t mind if you dance with them.

The most important advice I can give you for grinding is to have a good rhythm. Being able to keep up with your feet and hips is key. The objective you want to achieve is to grind with your dance partner at the same rhythm and following the beat of the song. The beat of the song is regulated by the bass. Some R&B songs will have slower beats or tempos, while other Hip Hop songs will have faster tempos. This will force you to change your movement to follow the song.

If you feel like you’re out of rhythm, here are some exercises you can do.

1- Every time you hear a song, try tapping your feet, clapping your hands, or tapping your fingers on a table to the beat. If you do this regularly, you will see a difference and be able to follow the rhythm more closely.
2- Try to detect the general beat of each song and try to move your hips to that beat, trying different tempo beats will also help.

Now for the dance part. As I said before, the goal of the grind dance is to dance with a partner, to the same rhythm and following the rhythm of the song. The girls will turn off if you don’t dance to their rhythm as it will make your dance behind or in front of them awkward. One thing I realized to be good at grind dancing is that you have to dance like the girls do. If you can copy their exact rhythm and movements, then you can move to dance with them and their rhythm will not break and they will appreciate you as a good dancer.

The dance is all in the hips. You should be able to move your hips clockwise and counterclockwise to the beat of the song. The shoulders are also important as they will also help you regulate the rhythm of the song, moving your shoulders forward and backward or up and down will make your hips move in the desired way.

You can practice that on your own at home while listening to music, so you can feel the beat. But of course nothing beats actual practice in a club or dancing with girls.

The more advanced moves will be shifting your weight from one leg to the other while moving your hips.

As you dance, you will usually start from the back of the girl. If she is a stranger, you will want to move in slowly, wait and see if the girl stays close to you or moves away from you. If you approach her and she stands there, then there is a good chance that she is ready to dance with you. Approach and dance from behind for about a minute, then back away for a few seconds, to show that you’re not all over her, then back in. Then you’ll want to grab her waist and turn her around 180 degrees, to do a bit of a frontal dance routine. Again, don’t get close to her, dance close to her and then move a little away from her, that way she won’t feel treated and you will show her that you know how to dance correctly and with respect.

The thing about grind dancing is that everyone does it, but a lot of people don’t do it well. You don’t want to dance with a girl, pestering her like a hungry dog ​​until she gets away from you. The tricks are to dance a little, walk away, then come back, walk away, dance in front of each other for a while, then dance together again. It’s about teasing a little, giving and then taking away, that’s what makes this dance a real start to a romantic relationship.

I hope this helps and have fun with my dance tips but always with respect.

Thank you
