Just turn up the music you like and move. Real dancing is more about creativity, spontaneity, feeling the music, and not giving a fuck than mimicking what you see on some video.

Occasionally you can look at some video for inspiration, but the bulk of your dancing should be your own enjoyment. Search the genre you like, whether that is shuffling, bachata, phangra, kuduro, whatever.

Only if you want to look professional or be famous do you need real classes & training.

does this effect your ability to be good at dancing?

No. Not at all.

What kind of dance do you want to learn

Flexibility opens up more moves and flourish depending on the style of dance that interests you, but it won't prevent you from looking good on the floor. Being husky/bulky/downright fat/muscular/whatever you are is a minimal component. Here's a video of a fat guy looking great on the dance floor. Part of what makes him look great is the focus on making his partner look good and his floor presence. No reason you can't achieve this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smE3dD0fbE8

Hope that helps.

What is your goal ? Do you want to:

Just have fun ?
Socialise and dance with girls ?
Want to learn to dance and enjoy dance itself but also feeling that you have learnt that ?

In last case classes with good teacher and listening music is a must.

Dante Nero. Big guy from lifting and martial arts. Close friend to Patrice O'Neal. The most red pill dudes you could ever know.

Dante is big into salsa dancing. Check out beige Phillip and email him. Guarantee he will answer.

Build doesn't matter. For more advanced dancing, flexibility/mobility does (so get stretching!).

Just for fun

You need to be LOOSE and FREE when you dance. If you have any inhibition or fear while dancing, it's obvious as fuck. But if you don't give any fucks, no one can point at you and laugh.

Start by going out to dance clubs and just dancing, SOBER. Go out and just dance, dance, dance. If you're in high school, make sure to go to all the dances and prom since those were crucial in my development in letting go and becoming free while dancing.

Find a dance studio or two in town, take all their classes once, then pick those you naturally have an affinity for or truly enjoy. Then keep going. Much better to do a class. Also great place to run game though that shouldn't be your primary goal initially.
