Like the others said, overdance. MC hammer style.

get a punching bag - pop in some music that has a good beat - starting punching - eventually you will start to punch to the rhythm of the beat

then using the punching bag - start bobbing on the balls of your feet - work your way around the bag while punching and moving to the beat

and you could also try hitting her

you 'just move'

Nobody dancing in these sorts of dances (or anywhere that's not a ballroom honestly) is really dancing
It's not like they're doing a complex waltz or tango
they basically move around, shuffle their feet, maybe move their pelvises in a certain way

As far as bad dances go...

The shopping cart lady
The fish (two people)
The "you can't see me" dance (Hook one arm under the other, use this one to cover your face. the other arm should be sticking straight out, shake your wrist)
The Qtip
The flight attendant
The sprinkler head

...trying to think of more

don't try to look cool cos you won't, she'll just end up laughing at you and then fuck some random in the toilets.

These are wise words from baggs, learn from his mistakes.

Well Seal, sounds like you're worrying overly.

1. there will be one, maybe two people in the room who can actually dance. They'll be either too busy showing off or hanging in the corner for want of space on the floor. So don't worry about being judged.

2. at events like these, there's no specific "dance"--you just move, easy as that.

Now, for some pointers/moves

-at the beginning, everyone will be standing around. Just shuffle your feet and move your bent arms up and down slightly, while swaying slightly from side to side.

-as things pick up, you can actually start moving. This is where anyone who's ever danced before will bust out their stuff. While I don't advise trying to tango with your lday, there are a few things you can do. You can spin her (easy), you can do a swing-style arm loop and go from side to side, front and back. Best part is, if you dance with your girl instead of on her, you'll look a lot better than everyone else.

-if the music starts picking up to a beat, you can try moving your feet more; just take a step forward, a step back, side, forward, repeat...while gyrating a little and still moving your lady around. The key is that you lead, she'll follow. No matter how shitty your lead, if you look confident, it'll work. Sure, if she knows how to dance, then she'll laugh a bit and help you out, but no-one else in the room will dare laugh at you.

Biggest point: be confident. I've been to Polish dance parties where I had no idea what I was doing--I didn't know any of the moves they were doing, didn't speak polish, but I just smiled and did my thing without looking for approval--it worked. I even got a partner by the end of it. No matter how silly you think you look, so long as you`re having fun, no-one will think that.

I always thought I sucked at dancing until I saw all the other kids when I walked into my first highschool dance.
A lot of highschool dances have shitty music with specific dance steps, at least mine did. Hard to fuck up when everyone is doing the same shit.
Then it's back to the slow dance.

Our senior year had 3 djs who actually work from time to time at clubs in Rome so we turned every high school dances of that year to mega raves.
People were going crazy, and even started doing mosh pits.

I was the guy who organized the dances and stuff and so wasn't on the dancefloor much, but from the dj set i could see that most of the people dance pretty muhc the same, and with all the music, strobes, lights etc going on people don't pay much attention to how you dance.
Its all about having fun on the dance floor.

oh you mean slow dancing?

This.

The only way I know how to dance is like a raver (liquid and tutting)- and sometimes it goes horribly wrong.

It works as a last resort in place of doing shit two step back and forth shuffles like you're in an old-folks home ready to die though. 

What I'm saying is learn to dance like a jackass and people will think you know what's going on. You're too self-conscious, half of it is not caring how shit you look. Same reason you're good at dancing while hammered.

My advice? Don't wear slacks (like khakis). Wear dress pants or a nice, slim pair of jeans. You're a slim guy, wear pants that accentuate that, don't wear baggy ass pants. Girls prefer to be able to check out your ass, just like you like to check out theirs (this is my girlfriend talking).

That being said: Just dance and ignore everyone else. If it's really that bad, see if you can carpool with someone and have some liquid courage so you won't have to worry about driving there. You should leave for the dance with a nice buzz so that way when you get there and it's time to dance, you'll be a bit drunker and looser. I'm not advocating drinking heavily, I am just saying take advantage of the looseness that alcohol will give you and do it responsibly.

Just have fun. Dance however you want, you'll never have to do it again unless you enjoyed it first time!

I danced at my prom, needless to say I shall not be dancing ever again

Relax for starters, I remember being your age, half my life ago, I still cant fucking dance now and Ive danced on the very best dancefloors to the stickiest shittiest one and yet nobody has ever laughed at me.  Im probably just as nervous now but nobody will poke fun at you, your girl isn't going to giggle at you and you know yourself the moment she does is the moment you say 'fuck this for a laugh' turn round and snog the girl next to you.

Not every girl can dance, remember that.  But most girls will pick up on nerves and unless you relax and enjoy yaself and stop thinking too much she will think its her thats making you nervous and unhappy and you will scare her off.

Dont bother practacing at home, just make sure you do go on the floor with her (her mates will be so envious of this and she will love you for that alone).

Trust me Seal, you got fuck all to fear mate, but if you let that happen you've had it mate.

Relax before you step up, make some jokes with your friends, pull some ridiculous travolta moves for the lulz, and once you start enjoying yourself you'll stop caring about how stupid you look much in the same way other people around you will. Eventually you will find 5 basic steps that you will stick with and feel comfortable.

It's just a dance, people invented it so they could have fun, not shit their pants at the thought of it. Good luck.

I wouldn't worry mate, everyone thinks they look like a cunt when they dance! And to be fair, most people do look like cunts when they dance.
