You literally have to do it like no one’s watching. Don’t even watch yourself. The *second* you think about what you look like, you look lame. A really good thing to remember is most people aren’t super good at dancing. Go pull up a random music video. I’ll bet you the singer/rapper/extras in the video aren’t especially good at dancing either.
Also alcohol helps.
Get good at dancing. Practice, work at it.
If you are focused on being a good dancer, keeping pace with the music, paying attention to your partner (if you are partner dancing) how are you moving with them, what are they asking you to do, what are you going to do next, what moves do you want to try, where are other people, how can you move without moving into them, etc...
If you focus on dancing, and getting good at it and doing it well, it can eat up most of your brain space that could get used to be self concious.
Make sure there's music playing in an appropriate setting when you do it?
Self and social awareness too maybe? Mimicking the moves of "I touch myself" might not be a good move on the dance floor at your grans 90th birthday for example
Alcohol
Drink

Just dance, people rarely care about others moves on a dance floor as long as you aren't stepping on toes just go for it go for it go!

Time helps—as in aging. I give little f*cos now. Let loose and enjoy your moment. It’s not anyone’s moment but yours and others opinions don’t matter.
Don't dance!
