Dance Styles for London Nightclub Chic

If you haven't been clubbing in a while … or perhaps haven't yet been initiated into the joy of anonymous sweaty bodies, belly-shaking bass and tinglingly delicious drinks … then the thing that probably makes you most nervous about going to a night club in London is the dancing. It comes naturally to some, but is a constant battle for others. Here we look at several dance styles that you can take formal lessons in to bring a whole new personality to your dancing in London nightclubs.

Breakdancing

Usually aimed at guys (heels, makeup and headspins don’t mix). Even if you don’t actually breakdance in a London nightclub, learning the style can impart some unique flavour on your contemporary dance moves. It began in the 70s and still doesn't seem to have peaked in popularity. You'll mostly use the toprock moves you learn in breakdancing classes in your fave night club in London, leaving the footwork, freezes and power moves for places where there's nobody to injure. But dang they look good!

Ribbon dancing

True Chinese ribbon dancing takes a lot of space, but the style is adaptable and very seductive in a nightclub atmosphere. Besides, having that prop handy is just the thing to allow some shyer girls to let loose. You'll focus mostly on twirls in ribbon dancing in London nightclubs, because tosses will quickly get your stick lost and trampled on! Incorporate the ribbon into the dances of people around you … as long as they know you’re doing it!

Swing dancing

This will be more for theme or retro nights, but since most people wouldn't have a clue about the Lindy Hop, the Nightclub Two Step, the East Coast Swing or the jitterbug, you'll wipe the floor with them if you do! Once you have some training you can start checking out different dance moves online to incorporate into your set.

Rave dancing

This will be great for regular Saturday nights at your ordinary nightclub in London. Learn steps like the Melbourne shuffle, crossing moonwalking and the running man from hip hop dancing. Practice the forms of liquid dancing, and use glow sticks and glow strings as props to help you loosen up into it!

Cool Club Wear for Hot Night Clubs in London

Especially in a city like London (freezing and very conservative), the nightclubs of the city are on the only places that most of us can let loose with our dress sense … and show off all those hard, boring hours at the gym! If you're hanging to flash some flesh, we check out the sorts of outfits that you can get away with wearing to your fave night club in London. Just put a coat on for the taxi home!

Bikini sets

Any bikini that looks extremely cool, but you couldn’t go swimming in, belongs in a nightclub. The fluffier, more decorated and themed your bikini is for an evening at your favorite London nightlife spot, the better. Leopard print is not too tacky for the dance floor, and even bunny ears can still be fun! Then again, why not just wear your swimmers? They're sweat absorbent, dry easily and will keep you cool. A most practical choice!

Open front tops and dresses

When you buy those tops that have two hanging panels of fabric draped from either one of your breasts, looking like they could swing open like a curtain in strong breeze at any second, you are actually buying two items of clothing. The top, and the Hollywood tape to hold it in place. I do believe even London nightclubs have dress decency rules that might get you put in a much colder places if the girls let themselves free…

Catsuits and bodysuits

They don’t actually have to have the cat theme of Michelle Pfeiffer's Batman getup, but catsuits in their various incarnations are big in the London nightclub fashion scene right now. Leotards with cutaways in various places look hot, hot, hot … they let you show off body glitter and they can be worn under a skirt or jeans as well as by themselves.

Long evening dresses

In a room full of exposed bits of skin, straps, bellybuttons and Hollywood tape, sometimes it is what people can't see that excites them the most. You can actually be the stand-out, sexiest girl in the night club in London by choosing a long gown instead of a Playboy bunny outfit. Latex and cutaways here look smoking, and even the matching trenchcoat and thong look isn't too creepy!
