how can I learn to dance?

Question:I'm 28 y/o male living in the Cleveland area. I want to be able to go to a night club and dance by myself (initially) w/o looking totally dumb. I have no dance background or ryhhm. I did an internet search and couldnt find any local nightclub dance lessons. Can anyone recommend a video or local studio thats good for this? How did you learn to dance? Really appreciate it!

I had that problem once. Then I had another beer.
Seriously though. As long as you're dancing and you seem like you don't care what people think, they will think you're good. Don't worry about it. I recommend going to a club and really looking at the people...throughthe confidence. They probably can't really dance very well.
And take latin dance lessons. That'll help more than anything.

Well, I am sure when you are listening to a song your attracted to it because of it's beat. Find a song to listen to, even if it's slower, follow the beat by nodding your head to it. Just stand up and bounce your body to the beat. (not like a dork, just a slow steady beat)
DON'T TRY TO HARD!...that's a big part of the problem.

well IF YOU GO TO YOUTUBE AND JUST TYPE DANCE OR WHATEVER YOU LIKE DANCING SOMETHING WILL COME UP..
OR LIKE ME WATCH A LOT OF MIUSIC VIDEOS ON TV
AND JUST LOOK HOW THEY DANCE AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GET IT..IS EASY TRY IT AND LET ME KNOW HOW THAT WORKED OUT OK MY *****..
