I dance East Coast Swing and Blues. I also dance Lindy-Hop, although poorly. It's a great scene to get into. I could also see it helping with insecurities, once you get over the initial learning phase. You get to meet a ton of people, dance with a lot of cute girls, and your dancing skills (and confidence) will definitely improve with practice.

Just be sure to start with a style of dance that has a dance scene in your area. Salsa is a pretty safe bet.

Some tips from a follow:

MAKE FUCKING SURE you brush your teeth and more importantly WEAR DEODORANT before class. You are going to get sweaty, and I thought this would be common sense but for some reason there are always a couple guys in class who don't do those and they smell bad and girls won't want to dance with you.
Class isn't the best place to chat up the ladies (unless you come early and stay late) because you switch partners every few minutes. However, many classes or dance orgs do have social dances often, usually on Friday or Saturday nights. That's your best bet to get to know the ladies you are attracted to better. Don't be a partner hog though unless you specifically bring her as a date.
Don't be afraid to ask to dance with more advanced follows! Everyone there obviously loves to dance and they typically don't turn down a chance.

I decided to learn to dance one year ago. I always wanted to learn because it looked like dancers were always having such a good time compared to the people standing around watching them. It always bothered me that the dance culture was largely replaced by the stand around and get drunk culture.

When you dance with a woman, you can tell right away whether or not she likes you, or whether you like her, or whether there is physical chemistry. And you have a completely innocent (well, not quite) pretext to get close to her and learn these things. You don't have to wine her and dine her. You don't have to talk to her for hours on end. You just ask her to dance and learn these things.

Like anything else, you will get what you put into it. If you find that you love dancing, you'll want to get better at it. You will take classes, private lessons, go to practica, try to get practice partners, watch Youtube videos, go to festivals, etc. You will be having such a great time that you will attract people to you. Some of them may become your friends, and you may also get some romance, although romancing people in your class, or in a very small scene can be problematic if things go south.

I spent most of my year learning Argentine Tango. I really love the dance. It's by far the best out of all the social dances, in my opinion, because the music allows for a lot of self-expression, and it's pure lead/follow; there are no real patterns that both sides memorize.

The downside: not a lot of younger women in the scene right now in my city, though it waxes and wanes. Also, it's hard, so lots of people give up.

My plan was to use it as a springboard to learning how to dance.

If you're interesting in meeting younger women, there seem to be more of those at salsa events. The swing/lindy scene is pretty dead in my city right now.

If you're using it just to meet people, it will get picked up on. Learning to dance definitely makes you more attractive to women though. If you learn to dance, you can take women not hip to the scene out and impress them with your skills.

Dancing is a great way to get comfortable physically leading women.

Learn Salsa if you want to meet Latin and foreign women. Learn Swing/Lindy Hop if you want to meet American women.

Once you learn, you'll have the best luck getting numbers from first-timers.

What city/region are you in?

Learn. To. Salsa.

I promise you my nigga you won't regret it. You gain confidence and amazing body language. You learn a new skill, one that bitches are drawn to. You meet sexy ass latin girls who love being lead by strong men.

I take salsa classes on the regular. Shit is baller.

I've been dancing for 5 years.

The best advice I can give you is to find a dance with an age range that you'll be comfortable with.

When I started out trying to find something to do, I could find a decent amount of dancing that had a lot of older people at it. Greaaaaaaat.

Eventually I found a place with people a little younger than me - a lot of college students (I had graduated from college only a couple of years before that).

It's way better for a million reasons - 1. Obviously you're meeting girls in the age range you're looking for 2. Sometimes you hang out with them outside of dancing and they invite to parties/people/etc that are not dancing but also in the same age range 3. Socialization - they say "social skills" like it's an inherent skill. It's not. It differs between different age groups, and if you learn the social skills that work with the older and disgruntled crowd people in the crowd that you actually want to socialize with will see you as giving off a weird and uncomfortable vibe.

So my recommendation is -

Go find out where the dances are, if you need to even pay to go into them to find out who is going to them. Even if you're there for 15 minutes, then leave, that's long enough to look around and see what kind of people are going there. If you find a place that you like, then see if they have lessons. If they have lessons, then go to them and again - and see if the people you want to hang out with are going to the lessons.

Don't invest in learning to dance, then find out that the scene is doesn't even have interesting people in it. It doesn't matter whether your goal is girls, just socializing, or enjoying dancing - I go for all of those reasons. All of your goals are going to be met better with a better crowd.
