The American term "baller" was once used to indicate basketball players who, starting from the ghettos, managed to become professional players who make millions, but today a "baller" is any person who has managed to make their way into the life starting from nothing. To be a true dancer, you have to do more than just wear the right clothes. It's all in the attitude. If you have it, you can be a baller in no time.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Act like a real baller
Step 1. Are you doing it or are you there?
Don't act like someone who wants to play gangster. If you want to learn slang, learn it from others. Do not create your own. If you do, you will they will laugh behind. You better sit in a corner and observe how others behave before trying to be what you are not. Real dancers will notice. They'll be on you before you have time to sneeze, chase you away, and won't let you be part of their group anymore.
Step 2. Don't strut
Real dancers know how lucky they are to have what they have and don't spend all of their time bragging about it, counting their money, or flaunting all the money they've spent. They know better than that. They let their lifestyle and what they have to offer speak for them and have no reason to make others jealous or weary with games. They are thankful for what they have and spend their money wisely instead of buying a bunch of ugly extravagant clothes just to flaunt their wealth.
Real dancers never raise their money. It goes without saying that they are rich
Step 3. Don't drink too much
Fake dancers always try to get drunk, talk about how drunk they were, or order too much liquor that no human (or even ten) would ever be able to consume. You may think that by behaving like this you will look like a real baller, but the real result you get is that you look forced. Real dancers like to have a drink from time to time, but when they do they never overdo it. Ordering an expensive bottle of vodka or rosé is much more elegant, and more impressive than ordering five and then trying to drink them all.
Real Ballers know they don't need to get drunk to have fun
Step 4. Treat the ladies like ladies
The fake dancers brag about the women they've taken to bed or how many they'll be doing that night at the nightclub. Real dancers know women fall at their feet - they don't need to brag about it. They are so confident that women love spending time with them. They don't need to be there talking about all their girls because they're too busy partying with them and treating them with due respect.
Be a gentleman. Keep the doors open for the girls, grab their coats and let them walk in front of you. Having no respect for women is neither elegant nor cool
Step 5. Avoid naming third parties
Real dancers are so cool they don't need to brag about how they spent the weekend or the phone numbers they have on their agenda. Fake dancers feel the need to mention the names of pseudo celebrities they met once at the nightclub in a bathroom, even if they haven't even exchanged a word. If you are a real dancer, you may very well meet some very influential people without ever disclosing it to anyone because everyone knows very well that you have the right knowledge.
Naming of third parties shows a lack of trust. If you trust your abilities, you don't need to bring up knowledge you may not have to impress others
Step 6. Don't overdo it by pretending to be
Real dancers don't need to be cool because they really are. They don't speak louder than others, they don't stiff and they don't try to get chased by two girls every five minutes because they know they already have what everyone else wants. So, sit back, relax and enjoy life. If you just want to try and prove something to others, then you are not a real dancer, no matter how great your lifestyle is or how big your wallet is.
Give other people time to talk. Talk when you have something to say, but don't scream like a madman to silence others
Step 7. Trust yourself
Real dancers are proud of who they are and everyone knows it very well. They look others in the eye when they talk, smile, create an inviting and positive atmosphere and make others want to stay close to them. They take care of their health so that they feel good inside. They love what they do, where they have come, and the people they surround themselves with. If you want to be a real dancer, this is all you need to remember.
You cannot learn to trust yourself completely, even if you are successful in a short time. It takes time to build self-confidence
Step 8. Earn Respect
You don't earn respect by giving money away to anyone who comes within your reach. You will get respect, earning that money, working hard and getting results. It doesn't matter what you do, whether you play basketball or have your own business. The important thing is that you did something worthy of respect and that you remained humble while doing it. Don't speak ill of people because you think they are not worthy of you. Instead, make an effort to help those who haven't made it yet, and you'll be even more respected for doing so.
Everyone makes mistakes. If you screwed up badly, you can apologize and start over. You don't have to be perfect to be respected. Work hard to get it back
Step 9. Help the people who need it
Real dancers know they are the best on the square. They understand when others need help and give it to them, economically, morally or spiritually. They do what they can to make other people happy because they know that they are lucky and that not everyone can say the same. They help their family, their friends or even random people because they know they can, and they aren't selfish when it comes to money.
Real dancers are generous. And that doesn't mean paying for a drink to thirty or so friends. It means helping those who really need it
Method 2 of 2: Get yourself a baller look
Step 1. Put on baggy pants
The pants can be baggy basketball pants or shorts. You'll be fine as long as you don't wear a tracksuit. Wear loose, casual pants, but make sure they're clean. Don't put them so wide that you drown in them, however. That they are wide enough to be fashionable.
You decide whether to keep them down or not. Some dancers think this look is over the top. Instead, you can stop the pants with a nice belt
Step 2. Put T-shirts on top of each other
Wear one, two or three T-shirts, preferably white t-shirts underneath another t-shirt with a brand label. Make sure the shirt fits you well. If you take a pack of three t-shirts, you can throw them away after a few uses so that you always have a new look. You don't have to show the labels on your shirts, though. The quality of the shirts should speak for itself.
You can also wear a tank top as one of your layers
Step 3. Put on the right accessories
Wear jewelry such as long chains, watches, earrings, or grillz. If you can afford it, you could wear a designer belt from designers like Gucci, Fendi, Hermes or Louis Vuitton. You can also wear some dog tags or chains, but don't overdo it. A beautiful gold watch is more effective than a million chains.
Any gold or silver jewelry will look great on you if it is high quality jewelry
Step 4. Take care of your hair
Keep your hair short, or have some tight braids, braids, or an afro. Fauxhawks are also becoming very popular. You can also consider getting yourself some shades. Find a look that fits you well and don't be afraid to update it if you eventually get tired. Dancers always surprise with their ability to do completely new and different things.
Step 5. Wear the right shoes
Wear some designer shoes that feel right for you, preferably basketball shoes. Any of these brands will suit you: Jordans, Penny Hardaways, Scottie Pippins, Kevin Garnettes, Nike Foamposites and Flightposites. Wear black socks with these shoes to make your look perfect.
You can take the laces off your sneakers, cut them, or find new laces in a more vibrant color
Step 6. Wear suitable caps
Put on a New Era baseball cap and leave the adhesive on it without keeping the ends "flat". You can also wear any cap with an adjustable back created by Mitchell and Ness, American Needle and Last Kings.
You can also wear a cap from your favorite team, such as one of the Lakers or the Raiders
Step 7. Walk slowly
Walk slowly, as if you know where you are going, but without needing to run to get there. Keep your head up, arms to the sides, and look around instead of looking at the floor or cell phone. Make others notice you and walk as if the street belongs to you and as if you have a seat reserved for you at every party. Maintain decent posture so you will look taller and fitter.
Step 8. Buy yourself a suitable car
If you have the money, try to get yourself a four-wheeler worthy of your status. Also buy a good stereo system for your car. Don't go bragging about the car. Let others notice for themselves.
Step 9. Speed Limit Guide
The dancers are in no hurry to arrive. A real baller might even drive five kilometers below the speed limit just because he can. Put on your seat belts and don't be reckless. Don't risk your life because it's too important to play at high speed.
Step 10. Wear stylish shorts
When wearing shorts, make sure they go below your knees. Wear elite Nike-style socks to highlight your athletic skills. Avoid wearing socks that perfectly match your shoes or you will taste like fake baller.
Step 11. Buy yourself a nice dress
If you want to be a baller, you don't have to go around flaunting all the tags you wear on your clothes. Get yourself a nice dress that fits you well from a brand like Hickey Freeman, Brioni or Robert Talbott. For a more casual outfit you can wear a Louis, Prada, YSL and Dior Homme.
- Don't pick something too flashy like D&G or Sean John, or you'll look like a high-end gigolo.
- Remember that your shirt does not have to be combined with a tie.
