In the main portion of the passage above, he writes a long, run-on sentence, joining his descriptions of the dance, fragmented, with commas and semi-colons. his propose is to make his description more vivid and tactile, in the sense that you feel you're almost dancing (or having sex) youself. Each phrase is like meter of music: one-two-three, one-two-three.
for Lawrence the dance here, and that is a metaphor for sex, is an experience where individuality is obliterated, eliminated for the moment of the experience. Class becomes irrelavant; the person has no individuality for that moment; he is either a man or a woman in contact with divinity.
