We all know the feeling: It has been one hell of a week, and you are ready to put on your cutest outfit and hit the dance floor. As you scramble to get ready in time for your pre-game, you can see the absolutely blissful wooden dance floor just waiting for you at your favorite frat.
You dart to your suite, await pickups (hopefully they won't leave without you this time), and you can feel the anticipation welling up inside you. Finally, a small car pulls up, and you and six of your best friends pile in for an uncomfortable ride to your pre-game. At last, you can see it now — the dance floor. Everyone gets their drinks, as you hastily grab your friends and run — yes, run — to the dance floor, almost tripping up those tiny steps strategically placed to slow your roll. Finally, your night can truly begin, but never without these six phases of dance ...
PHASE 1: The Awkward Start
You are raring to go on the dance floor, but not without an awkward start. You realize as soon as you go to bust a move that you are not nearly drunk enough to let your entire freaky-dance side out, so you begin with a little side shuffle and hand movements until your buzz kicks in.
PHASE 2: The Hip Shake
Now you are starting to feel good. Moving your hips to the rhythm is all you want to do, and the beat of the music is just right. This is why you decided to go out!
PHASE 3: The Gangster Lean
You are really feeling great now as your motions become more fluid (so you think) and your sassy side starts to come through. No matter where you're from or who you are, you are feeling feisty tonight. You are radiating confidence and dominating the dance floor.
PHASE 4: The Spin
This is my personal peak. Every girl can understand when you have on you favorite skater skirt or loose dress, this move can encapsulate your full heart and soul. At this point, you own the night, and spinning around in circles only confirms your own belief that you are, indeed, center of the universe. Never mind if you flash a person or two, the feeling of complete freedom far outweighs the consequence of someone seeing what is under your short skirt.
PHASE 5: A Little Sloppy, But Still Good
You are a little clumsy now, but hey, a little stumble never killed anyone! Now is a good time to stop drinking and ride your drunk out for the rest of the night. This phase truly is the turning point — you can either go backwards through Phases 1-4, or you can fall over the edge and end up in the dreaded Phase 6.
PHASE 6: You're Too Drunk. Go Home.
The final phase (or so you hope) arrives when you are a little too drunk and you are still feeling good. But at this point, you may be stumbling a bit. You look around and finally come to. You know that you are past the point of no return, but do you even care? At this point, you are free to dance the night away and hope a friend is around to help get you home.
