The best tip I ever learned when dancing to any sort of music would be: let the music carry you and move to the beat. It helps to be either crazy tired, on a sugar rush, or slightly intoxicated for this to work well. Also, make plans beforehand with a large group of friends or acquaintances on a particular dance. Ya see, the actors in the school musical this year (including me) are going to do the Spanish Panic on the dance floor. As in, that kind of plan.
