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!
