14. The Baby-Steps Strategy

For the faint of heart.

This strategy is perfect for beginners who want to dance like nobody's watching, but still want to appear cool doing it.

• Start with the basics. Like, literally the basics. The alphabet dance. You know, A-B-C-D...
• Gradually add more steps. Like, maybe a little arm wave here, a hip swivel there...
• Practice in front of a mirror. For added awkwardness.

Next up: 15. The Fake-It-til-You-Make-It-Strategy for when you're still not quite sure what the steps are, but you're gonna pretend like you do.
