Article: Give yourself a time limit, such as 15 minutes, before you start dancing at a party. Of course, you can wait until other people are out there. The point is to not wait too long before jumping in. Aim to be neither the first nor the last person who starts to dance. To keep yourself from leaving the dance floor too soon, set a goal of dancing for at least five minutes before you take a break. With all of your concentration focused on dancing, it is easy to put on a serious, concentrated face. Check yourself every now and then to make sure that you are smiling. Dancing should make you feel good about yourself, so spread those positive feelings around. Look around and pay attention to other people who are dancing. If you see someone who moves in a way that you like, try to imitate just one or two of their moves. Don't make the mistake of mirroring them directly or they could take offense. Instead, repeat the same basic copied moves a few times until you feel comfortable with them. Once you feel comfortable with a move that you've copied, go ahead and modify it to make it your own. For example, you might like the way a particular dancer double-taps their toes to the beat of the music. You could make it your own by adding in a snap at the end of each tap. A comfortable way to get started is to hop in on a synchronized and well-known group dance. The moves will probably be familiar and you can change them up a bit if you want. In fact, cutting loose and acting a little goofy is part of the fun with these types of dances. If you don't know the moves to a particular group dance, stand at the side for a moment and watch before joining in. You'll likely figure out the steps very quickly. For example, "YMCA" by the Village People or Kool & the Gang's "Celebrate," often lead to fun-filled group dances. Start off small with simple movements, such as hand taps. Take your time with these and gradually add in more complicated steps. Don't expect to be an expert right away. You'll probably blend in more with basic moves, so be prepared to draw more attention as you get more creative and original. Don't be afraid to make fun of yourself or cut loose a little. If you take yourself too seriously, you'll actually end up not fitting in with most party environments. So, bust out that air guitar for a few moments and feel no guilt! Unless you are interested in dancing with a partner, try to maintain a little bit of distance between yourself and other people. In a crowded club, this might mean just a few inches of room. But, even that small amount of space could keep you from accidentally hitting others or stepping on their feet.

Get out on the dance floor quickly. Smile! Copy other people's moves. Join in on group dances. Add in more complicated dance moves as you get comfortable. Get goofy. Keep a consistent amount of space around you.

Article: It's important to ground the welder or you may electrocute yourself as you weld. The ground clamp should be attached to a flexible hose coming from your welder. Attach the clamp to the table or workstation that you plan on welding on. Always hold your welding gun with 2 hands. Position the tip of the gun towards the metal, at a 20-degree angle so that you can push the weld away from you. Remember to wear your welding gloves. A bead is the proper weld shape and looks like tiny circles when you're done. When you practice welding, make these tiny circles to create a bead instead of pushing the welding gun in a straight line.
