My experience is that the Swing Dancing scene is very IT friendly - seems to be something about Lindy Hop that appeals to the nerd brain. I'd avoid professional instructors and dance studios unless they are actively involved in the dance scene in your community. Some brand name studios have been known to be more interested in trying to sell classes than let their students engage with the local dance scene. Maybe try looking for a local swing dancing club or a dance night that has classes associated with it.
Though people often say things like "I've got 2 left feet", the reality is that if you can walk you can learn to dance swing or salsa.
There are heaps of open source LMS projects. Some like Moodle seem to have legs. Others are in various stages of development. There is a list on the LMS talk site.

Oh shit..! I'm showing my age. Of course they're a corporation. Maybe I can blame lack of sleep.
