Is there a comprehensive guide (preferably with videos) for club dancing, to not look like a total fool?

This doesn't answer your question but... What I have done in the past is to watch other guys dancing in the bar. Stay somewhat sober and look around at the guys who you think look cool. Watch what they do and try to copy it. Might feel dumb at first but with practice you'll get a feel for what you like and what looks good :)

Just go on youtube and type in 'How to dance in clubs' And don't forget : Practice makes perfect.

I personally think myself as an extremely good dancer. Lot of girls come to me every time I am out and ask about my dancing and basically lot of girls just look me dancing and wanting a slice of me.

I started dancing about 3 years ago, first in big groups/crowded dance floors where you don't feel dumb. Gradually getting better and starting to dance on less crowded spaces. My style is really freestyling as I came up with most of my own moves/mimicked someone better. There is rarely super good dancers on normal clubs, and watching some (good) ravers have a go at it, might be a good thing. Watch what they do, and copy it. Just don't pull it over the top like they do.

Some Theory

Most of the common club music (EDM) can be divided into four beats. Dancing to the beat is super important. It makes your dancing look cool. In other words, while you hear "boom boom boom boom" from the track, It translates into: one, two, three, four. Even if the kick/bassline stops, beat is still rolling at the same speed. Don't stop dancing if the song is still going. Good dancer will keep dancing when the kick is down, and be on beat when it comes back on. At start, you can "count" the beat in your head while dancing, and make sure you move some body part when the beat hits.

Move both your hands and feet on the beat. Don't be too repetitive.

I mostly learned via dancing, but there is some quality material on dancing in youtube. Club dance lessons has lot of quality content from club dancing to even dance floor seduction: http://www.youtube.com/user/ClubDanceLessons

REMEMBER: If your move execution in not on point. It will look dumb most of the time. My tip is to "turn down the volume" of a certain move until you can do it perfectly.

TL;DR Dance to the beat/half-beat/2xbeat, use your arms and legs. Don't repeat too much. Be confident. Dancing a lot makes you better quick. You can dance anywhere.

PS. I am more than happy to answer all club dancing related questions the best I can.

Just enjoy the music. Special moves can be fun but I almost never do it to "impress" some one, maybe to make the girl laugh or if I'm with my boys. Go with the rhythm and don't overthink it.
