Technically, there is nothing wrong with it. It has a subject (wind) and a verb (danced) but the adjective doesn't really match the noun -- even if it is used in a poetic sense, the word sovereign carries with it the connotation of strength and dignity - and those words don't fit with dance. It would be likel Queen Elizabeth doing a polka or George Bush doing the highland fling. So, I'd have to say that the sentence doesn't really make sense - but it is an interesting thought to play with.

Structurally it is fine but I don't understand what you mean by a "sovereign wind ". Does it make more sense in the whole context of what you are writing?

I guess it kind of makes sense, but I have no clue what sovereign means. Hold on, I'll look it up.
Ok it says 'a monarch or supreme ruler'.
So I guess you mean a strong wind?
Ok so- A strong wind danced.
Danced as in swirled around, I guess. So the sentence does make sense.
But it's a little too wordy, so if no one's gonna understand it, don't use it.

Yes it's fine. Sovereign indicates being above all others in character, importance, excellence, etc.
In this sense there would be impetus for dance.
A sovereign wind............A wind which is different from all other winds dances in celebration of it's uniqueness.

Usually a sovereign thing is the most powerful thing, so you would probably say "the sovereign wind."

This sentence seems correct, but out of context it is hard to tell if it "makes sense". If it means that a free or wild wind was blowing, then yes it "makes sense" even out of context.

no!
it does not make sense because "sovereign wind" and "danced" do not conjure up a sensible picture...in other words, why would a sovereign wind dance? what is a sovereign wind?
Try filling in the sentence below:
A ___________ wind danced.
A sovereign _____________ danced.
A sovereign wind __________..
A _________ wind _____________.

I get that you are trying to whimsical or poetic...but you may need to find the definition of sovereign before continuing.
