My brother used to teach salsa and Argentinian tango. He said the secret was to act as gay as possible. It was easy for him, because he’s bi. But as long as you learn the fundamentals, and you don’t feel too self-conscious, dancing can be very easy. The fundamentals are important, though.

I was expecting dancing to be like Kung Fu. You learn some steps and then repeat it. But it doesn’t seem the same because of the music. You can learn the steps but if it’s not in sync with the music, you can’t dance very well.

Practice finding the best to the music. Just listen to music and try to tap your foot to the beat. It can take a lot of practice to find the best if it doesn’t come naturally, but you can learn just like with any skill.

Thank you, @Ninjastar. Some people told me to listen to music. I’ll dedicate some time of my day to listen to music (samba, sertanejo, tango and forró).

The best advice I can offer is to relax while you dance. Remember - dancing is all about having fun. 
So if you dance to Salsa or James Brown keep your body with the tempo of the music.
Best of luck to you on the dance lessons. I also love to dance and I’ve entertained the idea of dance lessons too.
Take care

just YouTube search basic dance groove and you should find a ton of good links. Try to learn a basic groove and get in front of the mirror to work on it til it looks smooth.
I want to learn how to shuffle. I’ve seen the instructional videos im and it looks way hard
I danced about 7 or 8 times with a rather homely woman at the church dance for people in group homes.
I felt a little sorry for her because of her problems. She was nice enough. Then I was walking downtown one day and I saw her coming my way. We stopped to say “hi” and then we started walking together. and then she took my hand and put it on her chest. I thought, “Hmmm this is interesting.”. It felt good and than I took it off. So this is why I recommend dancing.
