Nada de can be used with nouns, infinitives or clauses to express the idea of "any/none of it" which is often translated into English with the expression "at all". Let's see some examples.
Nada de + nouns
Nada de + infinitive
Nada + adjectives/adverbs
Ese chico no baila nada mal. Mira, se mueve con mucho ritmo.That guy can dance really well. Look, he moves with a lot of rhythm. [lit: doesn't dance badly at all]
Notice how in these last examples above there is no "de".
Bear in mind, though, that when this is used with the verb tener or haber, then you can add "de". For example:
Para nada
"Para nada" is also used colloquially meaning "[not] at all" as shown in the examples above, as a stand alone phrase meaning "not at all" or to emphasise an adjective or a verb, for example.
