the key to dancing is to not hold back. when you are dancing self-consciously it just looks awkward... the arms/head/feet are moving but there isn't any overall motion to your body. don't think of dancing as a series of gestures, move the core of your body and let your limbs flow from the inside out.
oh yeah, and when i say "don't hold back" that doesn't mean go crazy-go-nuts... just relax and realize that the fewer mental apologies you make for lack of skills the faster you'll improve.
