it depends on the country, for instance in latin american it is very important if you are looking for a girlfriend/boyfriend, dancing means not only fun but a "feature" your might have, and if you do it well you would be considered cool and girls may go out with you. In africa music is not an art form as much as it is a mean of communication and dancing is more like a ritual... I could go on but I can bored you... basically dancing meaning changes all around the world.

The social function of dancing is to exert physical energy together while we have fun. It is one of the many things we were meant to do together. It is on the same plain as laughing, smiling, singing, talking and as many things we can do together. It is another form to bring man together in a joyful setting.
