From outdoor concerts to your favorite cousin’s wedding, life seems to be filled with opportunities to relocation to music. In those moments, I’m typically the first one up to dance. (Bring on the active minutes!) but I completely get that being in the spotlight doesn’t come naturally to everyone—which is probably why people often ask for my guidance on becoming a better dancer. In my opinion, anybody and everyone can do it—you’ve just got to feel the beat and let yourself groove! but to get even much more specific, here are my top three confidence-boosting boogy tips.

Tip #1: Be YOU! have fun and many importantly, be yourself! dancing is about expressing who you are and being true to what feels good to YOU. When I dance, I feel like I’m much more present and in touch with myself than ever. You just need to let go of whatever else is on your mind, stop worrying about trying to do the trendiest move, and delight in the moment.

Tip #2: practice makes perfect. When you’re trying to rock a particular routine, nothing beats preparation. For me—when I danced competitively Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Brasil Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Japón in England, during my time as a pro on dancing With The Stars, and getting ready for Grease Live—that implied putting in as numerous extra hours as possible, and practicing until my head hit the pillow at night! For you, that might look much more like spending your Saturday afternoons matching your steps to the beat count to ultimately nail the moves.

Tip #3: Be your own audience. Practicing in front of a mirror offers you with perspective, as does taping and viewing your practices. Plus, seeing how you look when you’re moving can help you sync up with how you’re feeling. Are you smiling when you do that turn? You ought to be!

Now get out on the dance floor and have some fun!
