Certainly there was dance for secular pleasure and other purposes in that day; in fact, that’s easily proven from Bible verses as well. If God has no problem with this, why does the Catholic Church?

It would be comparable to dancing at the base of the crucifix on Calvary.

There is nothing wrong with someone personally dancing before the Lord or organized liturgical dance as a form of celebration in the hall or before a Mass but - NEVER - during the Mass.

I personally think if people feel the need to dance then they should do it at home, or at a nightclub. I don’t want to see dancing, laughing etc. at Mass.
