Between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter, there is the asteroid belt. This is made up of millions of small rocks that are in a direct orbit around the sun. Most of these objects are boulder sized or smaller, but some are quite large. The largest is a Dwarf planet called Ceres, which is around 975km in diameter. Its the only one in the asteroid belt called a dwarf planet as it it big enough, and has enough gravity to make itself into a spherical shape.
Small planets with orbits between Mars and Jupiter are known as asteroids. These rocky and metallic objects are remnants from the early formation of the solar system and can vary in size from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. The largest asteroid in this region is Ceres, which is also classified as a dwarf planet.
The distances between inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are much smaller compared to the distances between outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). The inner planets are closer to each other, with relatively small gaps between their orbits, while the outer planets are much farther apart, with larger gaps between their orbits.
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are separated from the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) by the asteroid belt, a region of space located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The asteroid belt contains millions of rocky objects that range in size from small boulders to dwarf planets.
It sounds like you are describing an asteroid, which is a small rocky body that orbits the sun. Asteroids are most commonly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but they can exist in various other regions of the solar system as well.
There is no "small dense object" that orbits between Mars and Jupiter. There are however numerous asteroids which are rocky objects up to a few hundred miles in diameter that orbit in this region making up what is called the asteroid belt.
Asteroids
Technically speaking, the asteroid belt doesn't "run through" any planets but between two planets. As such, the asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

The asteroid belt separates the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) from the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) in our solar system. It is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter and is composed of millions of rocky objects.
If by small bodies you mean planets, then Jupiter is the answer you want. If you mean dwarf planets, then you are looking for Ceres in the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars.
