The word "dance" originates from the Old French dancier (to dance), which likely derived from Frankish dintjan (to tremble or whirl). Its deeper roots are uncertain but may connect to Proto-Germanic dint- (to move vigorously). The term evolved in Middle English to broadly denote rhythmic movement to music, retaining its core meaning across centuries.
