Of course we can dance!! The Tarentella dance is probably the most recognized by Americans... It's Sicilian, but you get the idea. Lose your self-consiousness, Girl! You'll be a dance master in no time!!

Yes, we can I'm Italian and I'm a dancer.
Try using Google to search who Roberto Bolle is.
There are a lot of amazing Italian dancers.

Smiles... Take a look at this Tango: http://youtube.com/watch?v=eAQC47uHMbI&mode=related&search=
This is Mirko Gozzoli and Alessia Betti, current World Champions of Professional Standard. They are Italian.
Culturaly, Italians have active body language and exressive gestures. It helps a lot when it comes to dancing.
Dancing ability has very little to do with ethnicity. It is more related to the culture you grew up with, but you can learn anything if you want to.

The Barrichis sure as heck can dance. It seems there's always an Italian couple at the top in Standard competitions. Check out some on YouTube.

Anyone can dance! I'm Hispanic/Latina and couldn't dance even if someone paid me. LOL. I live in Italy and have seen a lot of Italians that were good dancers. Of course, some are terrible like me though. LOL.

Your nationality doesn't have to do with anything, it's a common stereotype. I mean, Latin people in general dance and listen to that kind of music (that makes you wanna dance :)) all their lives, so they have rhythm, but it doesn't mean nobody else doesn't! Try looking at them, listening to the music, not the lyrics. You'll get the hang of it soon.

Tarantella & Pizzica are both Italian group dances. You will find the Pizzica dance pattern resembles many native American dance forms!

I'm sure anyone can dance, you stupid bastard. You know who can't dance, though? Veneziano Italy's personification. Anyone who gets this reference, I will love forever.

...That's sort of a generalization, isn't it? A stereotype? In every society and culture, there will be people who CAN dance and people who CAN'T. Saying that an entire culture can or cannot dance is kinda stupid.
