Dancing
Sims dancing in a club
- Not to be confused with Music and Dance or Dance.
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.
The Sims 3 Store introduced a visible dancing skill. Having this skill in the Skill Journal allows the player to see their progress in the secret dancing skills: dancing, club dancing[TS3:LN], and ballet[TS3:G].
There are several ways a Sim can engage in this interaction:
- Choose "Dance. . . <dance>" on an Audio object.
- Click on the selected Sim and choose "Dance . . .<dance>"
- Click on a Sim and choose "Dance Together", "Let's do the Smustle", "Entertain . . . Bust a Move", "Slow Dance" or "Dance. . . <dance>"
- When a Sim nearby is dancing the Smustle, the player can click on them and the option "Join Smustle" should appear.

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 4-5 in-game hours). The community lot in question must be designated as a 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.
Sims cannot perform club dancing while inside a community lot whose primary object is not dancing, 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.
Notes
- ↑ The Smustle uses a variation of Michael Jackson's Thriller dance moves.
