Dec 30, 2020 · Senior Member. Cumbria, UK. British English. Dec 30, 2020. #2. Use "to". While it is sometimes possible to use "dance with" in relation to music, this is unusual and requires a particular reason, with at least an implication that the person is not dancing to the music. "With" makes no sense when no reason is given for its use.
Aug 17, 2016 · Aug 18, 2016. #3. Mr.Dent said: In music, and by extension in dance, a lick is a short phrase which is often improvised. One synonym for a lick when it is used this way would be a riff. Wow!! Thanks so much!! Certainly I would have never come to that conclusion since that meaning is not in any dictionary I have checked!!
Aug 13, 2008 · English + French - UK. Aug 13, 2008. #1. I have heard the expression "to be dancing on the head of a pin" and have found this comment on a (religious-information) website: "There never was a debate about angels dancing on the head of a pin.

Nov 15, 2012 · There are not many examples where dancing can work as a noun. In general the word you need is dance. A dance = a gathering of dancers such as a ball or party or performance.

Mar 13, 2021 · Senior Member. Fresno CA. English (US - northeast) Mar 13, 2021. #3. I would use "make" with "move". I haven't studied karate, but I've taken many dance lessons. "Do a move" sounds wrong to me. Often dance movements are called "steps", as if they only involve moving the feet (though they may also involve arms, body, etc.).
Oct 16, 2007 · The only conceivable way that I could see one using "along" would be in the instance were someone is actually leading/teaching a dance and asking others to follow the moves/steps (Please dance along with me!). The sense of having to follow is then imparted. Of course, if you put commas another meaning is conveyed.
Jul 15, 2008 · Durham, NC, USA. English, USA. Aug 5, 2008. #4. My original context was silly, I was saying that I would be so happy about something that I would "do a dance." This phrase is somewhat idiomatic, because if something really good happens, a person "does a little dance" or "does a dance", but not "dances."
