Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Your case was the problem of my student last week! He kept on telling me that he has two left foot, and that he feels awkward when he danced. I realized he had three problems:

1. Confidence. He was not confident that he can dance, but he was very willing to dance. What he believes and feels he is, becomes himself. If he says he can not dance, then he will never learn to dance no matter the efforts he makes.The reasons why he was not confident was the next two problems.

2. His partners kept on telling him how to dance. His partners were not confident of his dancing. His partners kept on telling him how he should dance. This made him nervous. Unable to meet each other's expectations, both succumbed to abandoning the dance.

3. No practice in dancing. How would you expect yourself to dance if you are not familiar with the music, its tempo and beat and your steps? Without skills in dancing, it is logical that it will affect the way one is criticized by another and by himself ultimately.

So here are the ways for you to really dance:

1. Stop saying that you can't dance. You can! But only if you do the next step.

2. Feel the passion to dance. Don't care about what people would say. Simply move your body to the music. Enjoy dancing on your own... solo first. Don't try partner dancing yet.

3. Learn some basic steps in dancing. Choose what type of dance. Get a trainer or a dance instructor to help you.

4. Invite your friends to join you in practicing dance. It is fun to learn dancing in a group.

5. Enroll in a dance class!!!! Perhaps there are free classes in your area. I do have one here in Manila, Philippines
