my best advice would be to sign up for lessons at a studio. depending on how dedicated you are, you could easily improve enough to make that dance team in two years. i started taking dance lessons (hiphop) about a year and a half ago (i'm 15 now) and up until that point i had sucked too. starting next month i get to student-teach a beginner class and be in a company if everything goes well. and this is all with only a year and a half's worth of training. you just have to really dedicate yourself and practice as much as you can. when i first started, all my dancer friends told me i could never do it and now i'm the only one of them that still dances. you just gotta prove everyone wrong when they tell you you suck. i always used that as motivation to help me improve.

but yeah lessons are your best option. you get to learn new moves by someone who is good at dance and you also pick up on little things you might never have thought of if you were trying to teach yourself, for example musicality (dancing on beat). it's all covered in the class.

best of luck with everything!

I've been involved in hip hop dance for about 3 years now, all you have to do is find a dance studio in your area and sign up for lessons.
