Women (in general) love to dance, and seem to like a man who can dance. At least my wife does. I've become an OK dancer but nothing great.
Poll time.
If a guy is just an absolutely horrible dancer, but he dances anyway, is it a positive in that he's making the effort and putting himself out there, or does him being a bad dancer turn you off to the point it overrides any benefit from him putting himself out there?
Depends. if we're slow dancing and he's stepping on my feet, then no the effort means nothing-I think of Lucy trying to teach a teenager to dance, and by the end, she had to soak her feet. lol
If he likes to dance however, I wouldn't have anything to say because I, myself, don't dance. Least not since I was 8. So I wouldn't have merit to say anything. He's dancing would probably still be better than mine.
So ultimately, it'd be something I tolerated. Don't like it, but I also don't think it means he shouldn't dance if he wants to.

I'm more impressed by a guy that CAN dance.I met a friend's guy friend two weekends ago at her birthday party.He is funny, knew the words of the song, not afraid to be goofy, and had good dancing skills but was super polite.
most sober white guys do the jr. high two step and get stuck on this forever,,,
add alcohol ...then its a bit different,,
dancing isn't a priority with guys,,,it comes natural to women..
altho, I do think their is a dynamic guys have to deal with women do not,,,,guys are visual,,so when women are shaking their groove thing,,, we'd rather watch than dance..
to answer your question,,,yes guys should get an A for effort..
The difference between a good dancer and a bad one is merely inhibition really. If you're confident in who you are, just don't give a rip, and walk out their and own it, you can very easily be "perceived" as being a good dancer. When's the last time you saw a bad confident dancer (minus people over 60)? That was a joke but I assume most folks are like me and perceive confident people, no matter their age, as good dancers. I just like to see people enjoying themselves
It's not until I started traveling for work that I learned generally guys didn't dance! There must have been something in the water back home because it was no joke 70% guys to 30% women growing up. Guys HAD to dance, HAD to peacock to even get a glance.
It really doesn't. I think dancing is important for people who like to dance, but for the rest of us it's not a big deal. Though I do have to say that I was surprised by a guy who I danced with at a recent wedding, because he actually knew how to dance. He wasn't just rocking back and forth.

Its not necessary for guys to be into dancing, but I think generally, its a positive.
He's having a good time, and not worrying about what others might be thinking. confidence is always attractive.
....and if the music suits, and he pulls out an air guitar move, thats also a plus
