Dancing is an activity that a Sim can do by oneself or with a partner. Dancing is also a secret skill.

Dancing with a partner builds your skill in dancing. Although you can't see what level your Sim is on, you may be able to tell by what moves your Sim does.

The scholarship for dancing with University requires level 8.

Dancing increases your enthusiasm in the FreeTime hobby Music and Dance.

There are several ways a Sim can engage in this interaction:

  1. Choose "Dance. . . <dance>" on an Audio object.
  2. Click on the selected Sim and choose "Dance . . .<dance>"
  3. Click on a Sim and choose "Dance Together", "Let's do the Smustle", "Entertain . . . Bust a Move", "Slow Dance" or "Dance. . . <dance>"
  4. When a Sim nearby is dancing the Smustle, the player can click on them and the option "Join Smustle" should appear.
