सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Japanese schools, 'Dance' became a compulsory part of the physical education curriculum in 2012. This has led to a massive increase in the popularity of hip-hop and modern dance among teenagers. The 'Koi Dance' (from the drama 'Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu') became a national phenomenon, where millions of people posted videos of themselves doing the same choreography. During 'Bon Odori' festivals, the focus is on communal dancing in a circle. While it is 'dancing', people will almost always use the word 'odoru' or 'odori' rather than 'dansu'. Idol culture (like AKB48) relies heavily on perfectly synchronized dancing. Fans often learn these dances to perform at concerts, a practice known as 'Wotagei'.
Drop the 'o'
When speaking with friends, just say 'Dansu suru'. It sounds much more natural and less like a textbook.
Watch the context
Don't use 'dansu' for traditional Japanese arts; it can sound slightly disrespectful or just very ignorant of the culture.
