Put in some work on your own. Practicing at home is one of the most important aspects of converting your dance on the floors of the club. Take a trip to a club that you will frequent and perform some reconnaissance on the type of music they will play. Use this type of music to practice in front of a mirror at home. Practicing in front of a mirror will also help keep you from looking at your feet, which means in a club you will be more likely to look your partner in the eyes. Focus on the rhythm of the song's beat at first and make your movements match the prevailing tempo.
Steal some moves from others. Either while you are at the club or by utilizing training tapes learn stellar moves to mix into your repertoire that will be sure to impress. Teach yourself these moves by way of practice in private. Pay attention to the dancer you are copying and mimic his or her movements. After you have the general gist of the movement, mix this in with regular movements that you have down already. Practice your new moves over different songs you choose so that you will be able to perform it at different paces and tempos.
Perfect your dance skills by paying attention to details. The more coordinated movements you are able to perform at will, the better prepared you will be for the club. Ensure that you watch your body movements closely to smooth the transition between each step and style you perform. Make your dance steps look intentional and polished by challenging yourself to anticipate the rhythm of a song and your next move. Practice dancing without hesitation so that your movements don't appear choppy, stunted or uncomfortable.
Learn to work off your partner. If you are dancing with someone else it is often difficult to change your entire style at a moment's notice. Use the movement of their hips as a guide of where their body will go next. Getting closer to them will help you to catch onto their movement as well especially if they are taking the lead. Remember that dancing with a partner will take time to perfect and often can't be practiced until you are at the club. Dancing with as many different partners as possible will help you to quickly learn to adapt in any situation.
Wear comfortable clothing. No matter how much you practice your dance moves at home, you will be unable to dance really well in a club if you can't move. You should focus on wearing clothing that doesn't restrict movement too much. Pay attention to your outfit to make sure your shoes, undergarments and outer dress are both stylish and comfortable. This will allow freedom of movement while you are dancing.
