Babies dance because of a couple of reasons. One, they love the feel of the rhythm in the music; it makes them feel good. Two, the mimic the enjoyment of others. They see on television or family members enjoy music, so they copy that to receive the same good feeling. This is the reason based on what I see with my two babies.
