You might know all the moves in the latest Usher video, or have two left feet. You could give Shakira a run for her money in a dance-off, or break a sweat doing the hokey pokey. You could move like the Pussycat Dolls, or Napoleon Dynamite. No matter what your skill level, a little dance will do you good. So when the music moves you, get out on that dance floor and shake your money maker for the OMC dance club guide, organized by location:
