Whilst John's advice will certainly, help, I totally disagree that you need to be a good dancer to pickup on the dance floor. In fact I'm certain of it.
I am a very good dancer - I enter regular hip hop and breakdance competitions.
But, my usual dance floor game does not really involve good dancing. In fact it usually involves bad dancing - the funny, care-free type.
What I tell all the pickup artists I meet, is that the beauty of picking up on the dance floor, is that you don't need to be able to dance!
It's a myth!!
There are many tactics that will work very well. It will take me too long to type them out. Instead, this dude's website:

his product explains a lot of it very well (shame about the fucking annoying format of the website).
In terms of 'good' dancing, what WILL help, is learning how to dance with girls. Again, this is EASY and you can learn it in about FIVE MINUTES. All you need to know is how to twirl a girl (which takes about one second to get), and a few different ways to move a girl. Best to learn how to dance with a girl, rather than dance by yourself. It's more just a case of being fun.
Also, one of my wings posted a great post on club game on my forum, which has some overlap to your question. Hopefully he won't mind me wacking it up here (notice when he talks about dancing like an idiot etc):

alright, here we go.
the first second you walk into that club you are nothing, you're not even an AFC youre just a dude in a nice top looking for pussy. so how do we avoid this?
you talk to EVERYBODY - this is very basic social proof. by doing this, you are no longer just some guy you are just some guy who knows people. this breaks the stigma that you are weird, and it allows you a little more freedom because you now have other options.
you've got a good base of the room, now all you need is a target. you've talked to EVERYBODY in the club except for her, now you have the power and shes just a sexy bitch considering your penis.
"are you guys cool?"
"yeahhh!"
"good then i'll chill here"
out of the entire club youve picked these guys, they feel honoured, they give you shit at first to test you but you break through it and now they all like you.
your target wants to know why you arent talking to her. you invite your girls to dance, you dance like an idiot but smile and push them away everynow and then, scanning them completely and openly turning them all on. she still gets nothing from you. she doesnt understand, shes hotter than her friends. she begins to leave and you wait until shes further out from her group. then you follow her and you say, "what? did i think i was just gonna let you leave? when you look this good? no chance. im definitely gonna let you buy me a drink" you smile and touch her arm lightly, she's hesitant but looking at your lips, you nod towards the bar, offer her your arm and you've got her.
scenario number 2. you've spoken to everybody but the girl that you want is on the dance floor. shit. dance floor game is hard. here your social proof counts for almost nothing, she is the queen. she has tanned legs, a short skirt, cleavage, nice hair and shes making it all shake on the floor. as soon as you do anything to get her attention she destroys you.
options. you have plenty, you return to a previous set. this one has a couple guys and a couple girls. you convince them all to dance, you give them shit and you test them. you make them comfortable then you lead them all to the dance floor. you dance like a twat and play little games with all of them, they laugh and you laugh. you walk across the targets group for no reason, pretending to be on your phone. you get close to your target walking back and look hard over her shoulder for somebody else, she feels you and glances, wondering why youre so close.
you catch her eye and act is if she wasnt the one you were looking for, look back to your group and walk towards them giving her a hip-bump on the way, she looks at you long and hard, you return the gaze and check her out long and hard. fractioning is important here, she needs to know that youre not there for her and by leaving her for another group is an awesome way to bring your SOCIAL PROOF TO THE DANCE FLOOR.
eventually those 12inch heels get to her and she has to take a rest, you approach then telling her you loved the monkey impression she was doing when she danced. etc. etc.
just stick to basic mystery and you should be fine. its all about body language so brush up on that too.
if you want a post on body language say so now.
