You realize that you're asking about something really complicated, as if it can be answered over text? It can't. You have to do some homework on this. I used to be petrified of the prospect that music would come on and I'd be pushed to dance.

The good news is that there are some easy options available if you are willing to spend even a little time.

_a_

You could watch videos on this. There are a lot of YouTube channels with some solid tutorials on dancing.. A good thing to start with is the Hip-Hop two step because Hip-Hop is pretty much infused in most music, even a lot of techno, so studying Hip-Hop covers a lot of basic dance vocabulary across different kinds of music.

_b_

Just bite the bullet and sign up for dance classes. You could sign up with a dance studio, or sign up through a college or university because you usually get two 1 hour classes a week, for like 15 weeks and access to the teacher for one on one questions during office hours.

Social partner dance classes like Salsa, Argentine tango, West coast swing, Lindy hop, etc. And of course, solo dancing stuff like Hip-Hop.

Honestly, you have an opportunity to really get a boost for your "game" here. Especially with the social partner dancing, you're basically getting cheat codes for how to physically escalate and read women way better. And something like Hip-Hop is really good for confidence and having fun, in general.

Just jump up and down?

Unless Jump Around comes on, jumping up and down is going to come off like an asshole thing to do. Usually the guys who do that no matter what the song is, are coming down on the people around them and pissing people off, in general.

And even when "Jump Around" comes on, a little jumping up and down goes a LONG way. It's funny because the song is not as well known today so you doing that is like a little shout out to others who are in the know. Then the joke gets old quickly.

Just fucking feel the beats with your body and let it lose, I don't know.

Depends on what kind of dancing you're trying to do. Club and hip-hip stuff, you're probably fine with bobbing to the beat. If you can't do anything with your hands, hold a drink in them.

Any of the Latin dances (salsa, bachata, zouk, kizomba), unless you are Latino, you will probably need lessons. I met my current gf out at a Latin dance event, and we both have a few years of dancing under our belt (FYI, neither of us are Latino)

I'd say the biggest misconception is that dancing is a talent, not a skill. With even decent practice, pretty much anyone can become a passable dancer.

Just sway your body to the beat (less is more, so keep your arms and legs close unless you're actually good). If a girl grinds on you, don't be a pole, put your hands on her hips and try your best to move your hips in sync with her

I can only do pair dance and suck at dancing on my own.
