Um... practice. You may feel like a dick dancing alone in your room in front of a mirror, but you're going to feel like much more of a dick if you get to prom and you've never done it before.
Or get someone to show you. Do you know who you're going with yet? I'm sure she'd be willing to help out. Or ask a friend. Or a sister. Seriously, there's nothing wrong with it. The worst thing you can do right now is NOT to do anything about not knowing how to dance. If you get there and just wing it, there's a good chance you'll get embarassed and it will ruin your night.
As for actually dancing, don't worry about yourself. Concentrate on the person you're dancing with, and how nice she looks... if you're not thinking about how stupid you look, chances are you won't look stupid. The biggest pitfall is being self-conscious. Once you're past that, you're golden.
