It means, the person has two left feet. Imagine for a moment, How will he walk, run or dance with two left feet. How would it look? Clumsy & awkward.
Such a person can never learn how to dance to the tune!
The Dace Schools call themselves 'Two Left Feet' to show that they can make even one with 'two left feet' a good expert dancer!
A very good expression that brings pictures to our mind!

I think the expression started from those who were learning to dance. Two left feet assumed you favored your right side, but you were so uncoordinated that you had "two left feet"; therefore you couldn't dance very well. Now it is used to refer to general lack of overall coordination.

It means that the person is very clumsy and can't dance very well. Many dance schools use the name "Two Left Feet" to imply they can teach anyone to dance.

It means that you are somewhat uncoordinated -- It's most directly applied to dancing ... such as "I am a terrible dancer, I dance like I have two left feet" ... stumbling all over yourself.

And, I'll add to the other, it is often used to say that you can't dance.
