Write an article based on this "Read up on what is trending. Determine what is likely to play at your school. Practice a few popular dances."
Keep tabs on the latest songs or genres that are sweeping the media. You can expect at least a few of these songs to make an appearance at your school dance, provided they aren't particularly risk. Youtube, Vine and Instagram are a prime place to find trending dances. Many will feature hashtags or other markers denoting their popularity. The Billboard Music Chart has added Twitter trends to its metrics, allowing you to get a good idea of what is trending online in particular. Some genres of music are more or less likely to be played at your school depending on the location and demographics of your school. Use this knowledge to determine whether you should practice a hip hop dance, or something more club oriented. School DJs are often chosen from a group of DJs already established as school safe. If the DJ is announced ahead of time, look into their organization to get a better idea of what songs might be played and those that might be banned. Add these to your arsenal for the school dance. You don't have to learn every popular dance. Even knowing just a few will let you join in when the right song hits. Try a few of these popular hits from the end of 2015. The Dab. This dance has gained popularity since first introduced and you don't have to look far to find an example of your favorite celebrity or artist giving it a shot. Performing the Dab is simple. Lean forward and bow your head into your bent elbow, like you're wiping sweat off of your face. Throw your other arm in the air, either behind you or in the same direction as your bent arm is pointing. That's all there is to it! The Dab fits in with most hip hop songs, but its simplicity means it can find a way into almost any genre. The Whip/Nae Nae. Two older dances originating in the early 2000s, The Whip and Nae Nae were combined last year, transforming the two into a popular sensation. Hold one arm out in front as through you're driving a car, while moving to the beat. Follow with the Nae Nae, shimmying your body upward while you raise your arm. Let your personality shine through during this dance! The Hotline Bling. Popularized by the Drake music video of the same name, the Hotline Bling is a collection of dance moves that look like something your dad would do on the dance floor. Commit a few of the more memorable moves to memory. For example, for The Call Me, perform a slow, freestyle sway, but raise your thumb and pinky to the side of your head while doing so, as though beckoning for someone to give you a phone call.
