Practice alone.
Find a song that's so infectious you just can't help but move to. Play it loud. Close the curtains. Let your body figure it out. Repeat. And then, when you go to a party which involves dancing, try to recreate that feeling.
You can also probably Youtube "how to dance."

Sounds like a plan. I will YouTube that, as well as use infectious music.
Thanks!

The kind with modern pop music where many people are on a dance floor moving up and down. But not grinding, I know that already.

Find a dance studio that will let you come and go as you please instead of a set schedule. Good way to meet girls, too.

Good advice. I do have a girlfriend, so that part isn't an issue. My main goal is to be able to go dance with her.

Lots of bars offer free lessons during their salsa/swing/tango/whatever nights. It's a good way to dance with your girlfriend in a setting where there's no pressure. Or spring for some lessons at a studio. You could even get a private lesson, and tell the instructor you want to focus on dancing in a social setting.

Do what I do. Commit yourself to dancing badly with a stupid grin on your face.
Oh, and avoid cameras like the plague.
Elaine?
For you? Sure ;)
Haha, will do. So leave any self esteem at the door, to be regained on the way out. Got it.
Who said anything about re gaining it? But what you lose you get back in awesomeness rep. Just look like a tool and have fun doing it.
