How do I learn to dance if I have two left feet?
I've always avoided dancing because I'm genuinely uncoordinated and I feel ridiculous. But I'd like to be able to dance at weddings and parties without embarrassment. Can someone with no rhythm actually learn to dance? Should I take lessons? What kind of dancing is easiest for a hopeless beginner?

Don't spend a lot of money right away. The industry changes constantly and what's considered the best today will be outdated in a year or two. Start with a mid-range option and you'll be happy.
Don't be afraid to buy used. eBay and Half.com have tons of stuff for a fraction of retail. Pawn shops too. I've gotten some of my favorite stuff secondhand. As long as it works, who cares if it's not brand new in the box?
Whatever you do, ignore the snobs. Every hobby has gatekeepers who act like you need expensive gear or 'correct' taste to belong. Forget them. Enjoy it your own way at your own pace. It's supposed to be fun.
