Dancing

Dancing is an activity that a Sim can do by oneself or with a partner. Dancing is also a secret skill in The Sims 2 and The Sims 3.

Dancing with a partner builds skill in dancing. Although the player can't see what level the Sim is at, they may be able to tell by the moves the Sim does.

With The Sims 2: University, teens who reach level 8 the dance skill can receive a scholarship, the Tsang Footwork Award.

In the The Sims 2: FreeTime dancing increases enthusiasm in the Music and Dance hobby.

There are several ways a Sim can engage in this interaction:
 * 1) Choose "Dance. . . &lt;dance&gt;" on an Audio object.
 * 2) Click on the selected Sim and choose "Dance . . .&lt;dance&gt;"
 * 3) Click on a Sim and choose "Dance Together", "Let's do the Smustle", "Entertain . . . Bust a Move", "Slow Dance" or "Dance. . . &lt;dance&gt;"
 * 4) When a Sim nearby is dancing the Smustle, the player can click on them and the option "Join Smustle" should appear.

Types of Dances
Also, a new dance, called the Club Dance, has been added to The Sims 3: Late Night. It is acquired by dancing at a dance club, such as The Grind, for several sim hours.

Dance Contests
Dance Contests were added in The Sims 2: FreeTime. A Sim can enter a dance contest by clicking on the DJ booth, and the winner will be rewarded money. In The Sims 2: Bon Voyage and The Sims 2: Apartment Life, a Sim can challenge another to Fire Dance or Break Dance, if both Sims have learned the dances.
