OK they are not dancing but they seem to. I saw these everywhere in the Fakahatchee today. Heres two video's one of them just running around and one where they seem to be dancing but I think they are spinning there silk. I don't really know though. We where covered with them through out the day.

Aren't those like tent Catapillars? We have them here in Central Oregon. I have had them in my fruit trees and birch trees and boy they can destroy a tree in nothing flat. I spray them before they get their tents to big.

Dave,
Those guys are something else...kind of cool...kind of freaky...kind of creepy.

I think I've watched too many sci-fi horror flicks with bugs in them.
