In order to learn something new, you volunteer yourself to be humiliated in public, so embarrassment is the constant factor and a part of the process. You are gonna make a lot of mistakes, but true winners stay in and continue dancing.

Once you pass that stage and you master the moves, they become a part of who you are, a part of your character, that’s when you start enjoying the dance, so the fun factor comes in.

You are willing to help other beginners to learn, specially if they are not quitters. Vanity is not an option, because you have experienced the pain of making mistakes and looking funny in public, so be humble about your skills. No matter how good you are there is always somebody better than you out there. However it is perfectly OK to be proud of your accomplishments no matter how small they are.
