'''Dancing''' is an activity that a [[Sim]] can do alone or with a partner. Dancing is also a [[Secret Skills|secret skill]] in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and a new skill in ''[[The Sims 4: Get Together]]''.
 
Dancing with a partner builds skill in dancing. Although the player can't see what level the Sim is onat, they may be able to tell by whatthe moves the Sim does.[[File:A_med_alleyway-1-.jpg|thumb| For example, Sims with low dancing inskill awill club]]occasionally step on the partner's toe, while Sims with high dancing skill will rarely do this.
 
With ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', [[teen]]s who reach level 8 the dance skill can receive a [[scholarship]], the Tsang Footwork Award. However, since the dance skill isn't visible it's rather hard to get, the only way to get it is to make a Sim practice dancing until the "Bust A Move" option becomes available on other Sim.
The [[scholarship]] for dancing with ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' requires level 8.
 
Dancing increases [[enthusiasm]] inIn the ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' dancing increases [[hobbyenthusiasm]] in the [[Music and Dance]] [[hobby]].
 
There are several ways a Sim can engage in this interaction:

A hidden Club Dancing skill is added in ''[[Late Night]]''. It is acquired by dancing at a community lot for a period of time (roughly 3-4 in-game hours). The community lot in question must be designated as a [[Club (The Sims 3: Late Night)|club]]. Sims will automatically club dance inside clubs, but they can choose as an optional dancing type inside their home, along with the other options.
 
''[[The Sims 4: Jungle Adventure]]'' introduces the Rumbasim Dance, which can be unlocked by getting Sims reach level 4 in the [[Selvadoradian culture]] skill.
 
Sims cannot perform club dancing while inside a community lot that isn't a club, or inside another Sim's house.
 
==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.
