Well, at a Bishop's fireside i was at then we learn things about dances... Like if they are in a small group ask some of your friend if they will come and ask thoes 3 or so girls and you take one. If it's a big group then it's fine just to ask one i know it seem hard at 1st but you will get better at it. Hey maybe after you dance with one from a big group they will tell their friends about you and her friends will ask you. it worked with me many times

Oh my gosh, I know exactly what you mean Shadow! I'm a girl, and at school and stake dances my friends like to just make little circles closed off from everyone else. As hard as I try by moving around and dancing crazy and stuff, they never want to open up. It bugs me, because I want to hang out with them but its a DANCE, where people generally...i dont know....maybe DANCE?!

Michael beat me to it. If there's a small group, you tag-team it. You get as many guys to match the number of girls in that group, each pick a target, and go.
If it's a little bit bigger than small, you can walk up and project," Would anyone like to dance?" Normally one will be like," Heck yes I'd love to!" or something like that. Asking one girl can work, but it can be kind of awkward at the same time.
Then, the ones my friends always film me doing. This goes beyond wanting a dance, it's more to have fun. But if it's a bigger circle you go in the middle and throw this big scene, like I had a fake heart-attack once and was like," Oh no, my heart is failing me! I think the only thing that can revive it is a beautiful girl asking me to dance!" And then when asked I was like," Oh, thank you, you saved my life" and you have yourself a conversation.
And, if all else fails, hold an 'L' above your head. Trust me.
I know exactly what you're talking about because I always try to slow dance with people I don't know. It's kind of that ice-breaker time. And the people left who I don't know very well tend to do the same thing you mentioned, huddle up or something.

Haha if it I could get it up here I probably would! Only problems with that is that most of the clips are on my friends cell phones and that I'd have no idea how to get it to here. If they still have it even.

It's the people at the dances that make 'em the most fun. Dances are a great way to meet new people. =)

And I've found sort of a pattern I've stuck to that makes them more fun: - During the first stages of the dance, when everybody is still kind of 'warming up', that's when I take the time to catch up with everyone I already know, get the majority of the talking out - As it starts to pick up, I start to go crazy, dancing with my friends that I have already. I have a good amount of friends in our MN '6-stake area' so I'm always bouncing from group to group. - During the slow songs, I try to make a point to never dance with somebody I already know. Slow songs are the time to meet and talk to new people. And then keep those connections, saying hi whenever you see them or making a joke if you see them in the halls, just keeping that flow going. Then you have a lot of random instances at dances where you can meet people as well, so I dunno. I know I've been to a dance in another state that was nothing like they are here, but with a lively enough crowd I'm sure you can make any dance just a blast.

Its so hard to walk up to a girl and ask her to dance when shes in a group Because humans are pack animals, and girls are particularly social creatures. When they get nervous, they huddle. Dances are fun, but they're like...roller-coaster fun--fun cause they're also really scary. They're standing like that to blend in with one another and confuse you. You really just gotta run into the herd and pick one off, *ahem* so to speak. The weird thing about hunting for girls though is they want to get caught. Haha, this may be the worst advice I've ever given.
