If you are seriously looking for employment and connections then giving some skills details would be appropriate. Oh and you might want to drop the "I just want to paa-aaarty!!" approach during interviews!

I wasn't that impressed with the dance clubs most places in Mexico. Mexico City had some great options, but other than that most people were to busy trying to survive as opposed to going to high profile dance clubs. Brazil or the Carribbean might be your better options there, but have no personal experience with those.

Seriously?

Mexicans dance all the time and there are both yuppie and bohemian dance clubs in most mid to large-sized cities. Maybe you only visited the most impoverished parts.

I never mentioned anything about Mexican culture and a lack of dancing. What I observed in my five or so trips there is that outside of large cities (MXC) there are not a lot of latin dance clubs that locals go to on the weekends. Outside of MXC I saw a few in PDC the one night I was there. Those of course were more your grind on some girl's ass sort of club. Yuppie and bohemian joints is not what the OP has in mind based off the context and other countries listed as options, was my assumption. And through my observation, most people are trying to survive and don't have the money to blow on cocktails every weekend, whether or not those are the 'impoverished' outliers or otherwise I cannot say as the observation remains consistent throughout the areas I have been.

"high profile" = yuppie
'bohemian" = budget

PDC is a tourist town and not indicative of the country. Mexicans in general go out to dance regularly... salsa, electronic, ranchera, rock, etc., and also "grind on some girl's ass." Dancing often happens according to the quinceƱa: people get their paychecks every two weeks, so the week in between is slower.
