Hugo Chetcuti and his team have seen his fair share of clubbers, from the robot dancer to the frisky couple. Here are 9 types of dancers you’ll come across at most clubs. You’re probably one of them.
1. The Self-Designated DJ
You’ll find this one next to the speakers or hovering as close to the DJ as possible, constantly making song requests and high-fiving the (real) DJ once his song is finally played. He feels like he owns the place and feels responsible for every good song played by pulling off a smug look and pumping the air with his fist or pointing his index finger in the air.
2. The Nonchalant Dancer
One of Hugo Chetcuti’s pet peeves, this type of dancer couldn’t care less about who’s around them. They dance freely with a drink in one hand and perhaps a cigarette in the other, threatening to spill their drink or burn anyone within a two-metre radius.
3. The PDA couple
There’s nothing like some good old PDA (public displays of affection) to make everybody around nauseous. Be it getting frisky on the dancefloor without caring about anyone around them, someone needs to pull these two away from each other.
4. The Creep
This one thinks it is perfectly fine to stand behind anyone they deem attractive and grind against them without previous introduction or consent. Once he’s shooed away by one, he makes his way onto the next.
5. The Entranced Swayer
No matter what song is playing, this dancer is in a trance; eyes closed and swaying in the imaginary wind.
6. The One who dances to the beat of their own drum
This person also has his eyes closed, but is writhing to a rhythm no one else can hear.
7. The Clown
This person doesn’t have much confidence in their dancing abilities, so they’ve carved out a niche for themselves as the ‘club clown’. They’ll do anything from the ‘robot’ to the ‘sprinkler’ for a laugh, but inside they wish they could effortlessly sway their hips to the beat like their friends.
8. The bobble head
Like ‘The Clown’, this dancer (if we could even call him one) also feels very uncomfortable being there, but has no choice in the matter; that’s where his friends are. He just stands awkwardly on the dancefloor and the few times he does make a half-hearted attempt to move, it looks like he’s tried on his limbs for the first time, so he typically settles for an occasional bobbing of his head.
9. The One who can actually dance
There’s always the one. You know, the one who makes you and everyone else look like you have two left feet.
Hugo Chetcuti advises you to escape your weekly stresses and come over to Hugo’s Terrace; popular nightlife spot in St. Julian’s. Remember, if you feel awkward when you dance, you look awkward when you dance, so stop overthinking and let your hair down!
