Many are getting into night clubbing and some are goofing up the works. Take it easy. it was meant to be fun for all, not just for you. You should be able to succumb to the mob of people and to lose yourself in it. Where you can close your eyes and you can't even feel yourself breathe, you're feeling the collective breath of the people around you. Where you can't help but move because dancing feels so natural and so right.
You don't have to dance well, you just have to want to move to the music and it becomes impossible to just stand still. There is something primal and animalistic about being there that I suppose you either love or hate. This doesn't preclude that there are lots of people who go out dancing to get laid, to be an ass, or be seen at these places, but the core experience is really dissolving yourself into the music and the dancing and your fellow dancers. It may be everything that defines a social dance experience.
There will be all kinds of music and the lead will choose the movements to the music. Most can use the Even Steps, just left, right, left and so on, which is just fine if both are newbies. From there you can graduate to the Rock Step and the Chassé. The rhythm in the four count measure may have a slow, quick, quick or a quick quick slow. Take your time and try to enjoy moving to your favorite song. The leader should lead however he feels it. Hopefully the follow will be the star performer.
"Good dancing engages the brain. Good for you. Great dancing engages the heart."
