How can I feel more confident while dancing?

Hi,
I dunno why, but everytime I dance I feel stupid and ridiculous. I'm a 6 ft 2 and I kinda feel ashamed of being watched by everobyd whenever I dance ... I don't care about my look its just that I dont feel natural when I do it, like when my head is above every1 on the dancefloor.
any advice on how I can get over that ?
thank you

Hi!
There are a few things you can do:
1. Just go out there and listen to the music, have fun and think: 'Who cares what anyone thinks?'
2. Get some dancing movies/videos and teach yourself how to do actual dances/steps so you feel confident and like you know what you're doing.
3. Take dance lessons! Everyone will be nervous at first, and you can all learn together.

Listen to the music, feel it. Don't try and dance cool, because then you'll just look like a fool. Dance how you feel. If the party or wherever it is that you're dancing is THAT fun I'm pretty sure no one is really paying much attention. Just have fun, let loose and go with the music.

Do whatever you want to I crazy dance sometimes too.. and I felt very embarrased but I don't care what people think about me and my friends dance with me even though they know I am making a fool of myself. Just do what your heart tells you!! =]

picture everybody else naked. that is what I do when I get nervous

maybe watch yourself in the mirror? I personnaly cannot dance unless I know the song pretty well.

Someone else already said it.. but watch yourself dance first, get the feeling you look good doing what your doing. Feel the music and move your body to beats.
That way when you ARE on the dance floor you just have to remember seeing yourself.
-OR- sometimes, after a couple drinks pick a friend that is rediculous on the dancefloor, that way even if you suck at dancing, so do they and you have a partner.

Hey, I know how you feel. If you know you can dance. and you can dance. Then Don't worry about that as long as you know some moves then your good to go. You know Chris Brown Right? well if you don't I have read that he worried about the same thing. But My favorite saying from My favorite rapper is 'Ignore the Haters and have fun thats what life is all about.' So have fun.
