Talking to someone doesn’t guarantee that they’ll agree to be your dance partner. Respect the person’s wishes, whatever they may be! Don’t try to casually “bump” into the person, as this will just come across as awkward.
For instance, you can say something like: “I love this song! Would you like to dance with me?” or “I’m ready to hit the dance floor! Want to join me?” Don’t worry if you can’t find a dance partner at first. Grinding is popular at clubs, so you should be able to find a partner there!
If 1 to 2 in (2. 5 to 5. 1 cm) of space feels too close for you, just make sure you’re standing close enough to put your hands on your partner’s hips.
Grinding is more about following your partner’s lead than anything else. Let your partner figure out the rhythm and go from there!
This is especially helpful if your partner starts doing some wild or unpredictable dance moves! You don’t have to keep your hands on your partner’s hips the entire time! Use your hands as a way to reconnect if you fall out of sync with them.
Continue grinding as you did before, following the beat as you go.
If your partner seems interested, you pull them a little closer to make the dance even more intimate or ask them if it’s okay for you to do that. Don’t get caught up in the nitty gritty details of the dance. Just focus on letting loose and having fun!
