Art of Dancing in truly "Desi" Parties

In my earlier post, i mentioned my fresher party. here's something elaborated: How to dance in such parties.

I would give an excerpt from Ted Bundy's "Hand to Hand combat"

Now, let me discuss some of the basics you will need to know when you are in any combat situation.

Stance
The best stance when confronting an enemy is to put your feet at shoulders length apart and your arms should be facing forward, parallel to each other and bent at the elbows. Keep your knees slightly bent and stand on the balls of your feet.
Remember, you always want to maintain this stance when you are not striking at the enemy.

Balance
It is always important that you keep your balance. If you use the stance I have described above, you will never have to worry about it. If by chance you do lose your balance even for a second you can kiss your ass goodbye as the enemy will probably kill you.

Aggressiveness
Always be aggressive and always attack. Don’t just stand back and defend yourself against the enemy’s strikes as he will end up killing you eventually. If you are not aggressive, the enemy will think you are scared and he will have an advantage over you.
A great thing to do is yell at the enemy. This will scare the **** out of him if you start yelling at him and plus it also allows you to get more oxygen in your lungs so you will have more strength.

Natural Weapons
Your natural weapons are as follows: knife edge of either hand, the heel of your hands, your fingers folded at the second knuckle, your boot, your elbow, your knees, your teeth, your fore finger and second finger forming a „V“ shape, and your fist. These body parts alone are some of the most powerful weapons you can use.



You have to be skilled at this knowledge for a comfortable stay on the dance floor.

Indians always dance in multiple-people groups. The groups mostly unisexual, ie males dance together, females together. There will be lot of rush. Hence first step would be to take an agressive stance and slowly make way into the crowd towards your friends, who will be dancing somewhere in there. Then announce your arrival by a booming shout showing that you are all pumped up. Then comes the most difficult part: entering and staying in the group. For this you require to be very well balanced, as well as in a high. The slower you dance, the more likely you would be pushed out of the circle. Just keep waving and shouting like its nobody's business and you'll get respect on the floor. Don't try to hum songs, it just makes you look stupid when you're actually trying to show-off how close you are to the music. And when you fall in a group where girls are also present, you can't survive without the agression. In an effort to prove that they are alpha-males, all the guys get very pushing and loud.

Follow these simple things and you're sure to end up on top of a few dancing shoulders (if you're not oversized and overweight like me, that is).
