How to Improve your Moves on the Dance Floor.

So, you're at a bar trying to pick up. All the talent is clustered on the dance floor in groups of two or three, but every guy that tries to join them is shot down without mercy.

What's going on?

Turns out, lots of guys make the same mistakes. Agent Kerry checked out some New York clubs to figure out how you can improve your moves. Here's what she learned:

Do: Put down your drink before hitting the dance floor. You don't want to look like an alcoholic. Or worse ruin her skirt.

Don't: EVER just start grinding your package up against a girl you don't know.

Do: Make eye contact before approaching a girl. You can tell from her eyes if you're welcome.

Don't: Cold call. If a girl is sitting at the bar, don't surprise her from behind and ask her to dance. Stick to girls already on the dance floor.

Do: Think slow and smooth. With fast music, listen for the slow rhythm between the beats.

Don't: Try anything too fancy. You have little to gain by showing off and may end up falling on your ass.

Do: Bend your knees in time with the music, shifting your weight from one leg to the other. Add a little hip action for added suaveness. Remember, women often equate your moves on the dance floor with those in the bedroom.

Don't: Take large awkward steps from left to right. This is called the "white boy shuffle." Also try not to move your shoulders too much.

Do: Smirk. Appearing to find humor in your dancing is a nice approach. You're not Fred Astaire, but you're having fun.

Don't: Grope. In fact, don't touch until you know she's into you. Then start with the innocent areas, like her hand or arm.

Do: Lean in for a kiss, but only if everything is going really well.

Don't: Pull her to you. Leaning in is better since it leaves a last minute escape route for emergency mission aborts.
