Traditional reading

Dancing joyfully is seen as a sign you'll be invited to a celebration or that happy news will come to your home. But dancing alone in a frenzy until you're exhausted is sometimes read as a warning that excitement could lead to a mistake.

Through the heart

Dance is free expression through the body. This dream shows a wish to move without being boxed in, or to make the joy you feel right now last a little longer.
