I don't think there are any restrictions on the type of saddle you use. Bits are a different matter. Make sure the bit your using is allowed. Although a dressage saddle will help put you in the correct position, if you don't have one don't let it stand in your way. Keep riding and practicing. Later on as you move up in competition, there will be time to think about changing saddles. Have fun.

The 'horse dancing thing' is called Dressage, it is a French word that means training. Dressage is taught to nearly all horses from the moment they are saddle trained which is anywhere from 2 to 6 years of age. After that the horse may or may not show the ability to compete at the highest levels and be trained for something else. If they are suited to competitive Dressage then the real training begins and it can take years to teach a horse all the technical movements and flexibility they need to preform well. A Grand Prix (highest level of the sport) Horse may be in his early to late teens once he reaches that level of competition.

The stirrup iron should half a quarter to half inch of space on either side of your foot.The stirrup leather should be adjusted depending on the sport you're participating in. Dressage requires a long straight leg, jumping uses a short stirrup leather, and general or trail riding uses a length in between dressage and jumping.To adjust for these make sure the leather is attached to the saddle and then pull it out and away, it should be roughly as long as your arm and may need to be adjusted up or down a couple of holes for various disciplines.

No; dressage requires trot and canter, but not jumping. You should actually know dressage before you jump.
Spurs are not mandatory for dressage but can be used to enhance communication between the rider and the horse. They provide a way to apply subtle pressure to encourage responsiveness, especially in advanced levels. However, their use should be appropriate to the horse's training and the rider's skill level, as improper use can lead to confusion or discomfort for the horse. Ultimately, the decision to use spurs depends on personal preference and the specific circumstances of the ride.
