How to use dance in a sentence?

  1. Jerry Martini:

    She covered a lot of ground, she was the first female trumpet player and the first African-American trumpet player in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She wasn't in the back. She was out front telling you to get up and dance to the music, and she could blow with the best of 'em, always.

  2. Shah Asad Rizvi:

    Dance is the ritual of immortality

  3. Larry Birkhead:

    I’m proud of my daughter because without her mom she’s [still] such a great kid and she does her best every day, she makes me laugh and smile and I embarrass her every day like most dads do. She does not like the dad jokes and there are certain rules we have where I’m banned from social media and I’m not supposed to say things and I’m not supposed to post things. It’s not cool to walk with her to school anymore, show up at the school dance and start dabbing or doing a dance that I think might be cool. But she’s funny and I’m proud of her. She’s a great kid.

  4. Jason Leigh:

    Within three days ... we were like an old married couple, we really had this dance that became kind of effortless and after a while when we weren't cuffed together I missed him terribly.

  5. Matthew Bennett:

    [children] do silly things they dance around, they run around, they dont walk economically in one direction, it makes statistical sense that we should be finding lots of childrens footprints.
