Never liked dancing myself, and my mom is a dance teacher. She's been dancing most of her life.
She did try to get my brother and I dancing, if marginally, but I always had trouble with it.
Similar problem to swordplay, I always end up planting my feet into the ground, I always end up assuming a static, firm stance Probably stems from my problems with balance and coordination - similar to what you have problems with.
All of this, other than the fact I have never been comfortable dancing infront of others. Never have. My first 2-3 times swordfighting, in tights, or wearing roman armor and a 'miniskirt' I was nervous but got over it and now am pretty much comfortable with it...But dancing? Nope. Not for long anyway.
In college a friend of mine and I got a little into Swing dancing, and we had a couple of flashy moves that we sort of got known by. (instructions from my mom and her friend), we even got into a sort of competiton or a show-off at a dance, but I was a nervous wreck the whole time and nearly goofed up every move, despite having it down "pat"...So, yeah, never was big on dancing either.
Surely the 'desire' to dance the parque off the floor would be great, but, I know better. I'd stomp and clonk the floor to death.
