The 'waggle dance' is a series of movements made by honey bees inside the colony to indicate to the other bees where a source of pollen or nectar has been found. The 'dance' tells the bees how far from the colony and the direction in relation to the sun.

You are seriously 'anthropomorphizing' the little critters (interpreting their behavior as if you are observing people), but bees do 'dance' in a way. The movements are to inform other bees about the location of a near-by food source. The other bees get the message and are then able to locate the food source. Their movements have nothing to do with dance as we think of it. It's all about survival of the nest, and even that is not a conscious thought on the part of bees.
Bees do the waggle dance where they communicate to their hive mates. Is the term for a particular figure of 8 dance of the honey bee. This dance allows the bees to share information of the direction and distance of flowers; water sources,housing or pollen with their mates. Consists of one or 100 more circuits. A worker bees waggle dance is running through a figure of 8 called a "waggle run" which is followed by a turn to the right to circle back to the starting point; then followed by another waggle run but this time turning to the left. The bees adjust the angles of their dances to accommodate with the changing direction of the sun.
