I know that most of you see the dance floor as a trap. I know firsthand that this isn't true. Ever since I started going out, I danced. At the beginning it was a bit weird, but I soon started enjoying to dance. And it was becoming a deadly weapon. I don't really know any specific dances, I just do my thing and move as I feel. The most important thing would probably be to have more fun than the whole room there. That is easily conveyed if you follow the music and always have a smile on your face. I often even close my eyes while dancing. That way I avoid looking around and appear more genuine. It is the physical manifestation of not giving a damn and enjoying oneself. I probably have my eyes closed 80% of the time.
Last night I was out and I came to the club too early. There were probably 10 people there including me. So I sat down and waited. While waiting I was vibing to the music the whole time. Partially to stop the damn shaking. xD Later I noticed that a 5-set that kept giving glances in my direction. I don't feel confident enough to open a 5-set yet so I continued enjoying myself. At one point the club was already getting full, but the dance floor was still empty. I had been sitting and vibing there for like 45 minutes and I just couldn't stand it anymore. I just went on the dance floor. I was the first one and I went right into the middle of it and started dancing. I kept dancing for about 15-20 minutes before taking a break. During that time a few girl-only sets gathered around and showed proximity. Funny thing, after I came back from my 10 minutes break, the same girls were still in the same place as before (with even more people around). You know that one when somebody stays in the exact same place hoping the other person will come back? This happened here.
At the end I found myself surrounded with at least 10 girls on all sides. I was the party. Since I had planned a venue change (the second club's list was valid only until 1AM and it was already 12:30) and since I was unable to run game, I decided to leave. On my way off the dance floor I cut right through the set behind me and a 9 grabbed my ass, lol! I turned around with a “Hey, what are you doing” in a C&F manner, but she was already looking the other way and it was too loud to hear me from the 3-4 feet distance. So I went on. Looking back at that now, I realize that I could turned around with a cold read of sorts “You're one naughty girl”, another neg or a semi-direct opener.
The second venue was cool and had loads of more people, but the game wasn't as effective because there were many people having fun. Being perceived as having fun is cool and a definite prerequisite for this type of game, but being perceived as having more fun than everybody else (and believe me, I was having more fun than everybody else

) is pure gold. You are the party down cold and the attraction circuits go haywire.
Basically, dance floor game can let you skip A1 and A2. You can open dance partners non-verbally and go right into kino escalation. I know, because I had been often doing it before. My problem back then was that I didn't know how to continue what I started.
Another cool thing that I noticed you can do it hiding and getting rid of physical manifestations of anxiety (like a shaking body). You can convert the nervous energy into simply energy and fuel your dancing. Yesterday my waist was shaking so I put a lot of moves right into my waist. As you see, it worked amazingly.

Sadly my anxiety level was way too high to run approaches at that point (not the one in my head but the one in my body). This was the first time that I went dancing that I knew what I was doing and it was messing with me too hard. Next time I will do better. Now I am a little bit desensitized to it, next time will be easier.
I've read an interesting, long and thorough online article about dance floor game, but I can't find it again right now. If I find it again, I'll post it.
EDIT:
I forgot to mention something. After my dancing break in the first venue, there was some other guy on the dance floor with 2 girls. I think that he was dancing too hard. He even rejected my high-five, trying to be cool. Obviously, he didn't have any other girls around him besides the two he was there with. Funny, isn't it? The girls subconsciously picked up who of us was genuinely attractive. It probably has to do with me being in the middle of the dance floor while he and his girls were somewhere a bit off. xD
