How it's used

Focuses specifically on the technical execution of movement within a dance sequence. While it can refer to a single step, it is most frequently used to describe a choreographed series of movements or a specific style of footwork. It is common to pair this with verbs like 學 or 練 when discussing the process of learning a routine.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to refer to a dance performance or the act of dancing itself, as it strictly denotes the physical movement of the feet. Use 跳舞 when referring to the activity of dancing.
