Homecoming is coming up on October 19th—an occasion that warrants excitement and joy. However, if you add a pinch of nervousness into that concoction, it can leave a bitter taste. 

   Students are faced with only the most important questions, like “Will my dress come on time?” or “Converse or heels?” And, of course, the big question.

   “Will I secure a date for homecoming?”

   Rest assured, this article will teach you the best dances to attract your love interest. The best part about these moves is you don’t need any rhythm or timing. 

   Who cares if you’re off beat? These groovy moves will have people waiting in line just to say “hi” to you. You’ll get a whole roster, trust me. After all, look at all the people I’ve attracted! I swear that wasn’t a tumbleweed blowing by…

• Air Pump 

   Pump up your bestie! One of you will touch their toes as the other pretends to push an air pump up and down, making the former gradually raise up and boogie!

• Orange Justice 

   Channel your inner twelve year old with this classic representation of 2017-2019 humor! Bonus points if you play “Flamingo” by Kero Kero Bonito and wear clout goggles. No one will be able to resist your iconically-cringey moves as you win that number one victory royale!

• The Wheelbarrow 

   You’ll need a friend for this one(or at least an unsuspecting person willing to consent to this). One of you will hold the other up by their hind legs as they walk on their hands and you walk forward as fast as you can with them. Everyone loves a good, totally not dangerous upper body workout!

• The Full “Rasputin” Just Dance 

   And you thought the last one was a workout? Think again! Summon the czar in you and memorize all four minutes of what is easily the most recognizable Just Dance in history. And put your all into it! Your crush will love your sweaty dedication and admire the persuasion it took to get the DJ to actually play this song.

• The Ear Un-Clogger

     Flashback to summer time sadness when you’d get out of the pool and your ears would be clogged with water from your lovely swim. Influencer Katie Feeney has a solution to that. The best part is, it’s a dance move too! Your ear(s) will be nice and unclogged so you can hear your crush perfectly when they confess their love for you.

• The Popcorn

     This last dance move is called the popcorn, and not only is it the best dance move on the list, but it highlights the fact that you are a snack. Stand really stiff and jump in the air like a popcorn kernel being cooked. Just add a bit of confidence into that recipe and everyone will want a taste.

     But be careful— doing these dances may make you start to feel symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, and more. The stress of having to choose between so many swaggy moves may feel like too much! If you begin to feel any of the symptoms listed, don’t be afraid to seek help. 

   We all understand that it’s hard carrying the weight of being the best dancer on the floor. Feel free to unload by talking to a school counselor, trying other dances, and more. If all else fails, you may have to, unfortunately, retire from the tedious career of dancing, and move onto something else. Try to make them swoon with your incredible karaoke rendition of “Careless Whisper”. Or a pickup line found on the world wide web. Either way, you know you’ve got it! The dance floor doesn’t discriminate, so let everybody get a taste of your amazing style, ’tude, and groove.
