'taking' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dancing that I've seen before include "Terpsichorean exercise" , "Taking a series of rhythmical steps and movements in time to music" , "Strictly Come - - (TV)" , "Performing ballet" , "Moving to music" .)
