9 Ways to Slay the Dance Floor, As Illustrated by the Local News Kid

Last year, Brendan Jordan (aka The Local News Kid) became one of the biggest divas in the biz. Obvi, we had to look to him for inspiration — and some Yoncé status moves.

Always start slow – Get the blood flowing and ease into the night with a couple of claps.

*butt claps not included.

Show some leg – If Meghan Trainer and Nicki Minaj taught us anything this summer, it’s that meat is in.

Let the music be your guide – Let’s be honest, we’re all waiting for that one song to play, but make sure to entertain the irrelevant artists as well  – it shows your artsy.

On the other hand, don’t entertain irrelevant people.

Work your way up! Hands on the thighs > drink > hands on the knees > drink > hands on the floor.

Be C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-T – Even when the basics don’t understand your dance moves, remember you’re a star.

A little less talk, a lot more action. When you see your crush from across the dance floor, claim him.

Experiment with different dance styles. Tutting. Twerking. Two-step. It don’t matter.

Cross your heart  and hope to slay – Your song just came on. You know every word, every hair flip and every piece of choreo. Seize the moment!
