Yes, some animals will perform a ritual or dance to attract a mate.
If you wanted to know if they can "dance to music", only parrots that are capable of vocalizing human words. There are videos of dancing parrots on YouTube if you are interested. They can "find the beat" and move according to rythem... they also appear to actually enjoy it too.
Other than that, primates cannot dance, nor vocalize human words... Animals usually cannot recognize a beat, so they don't have the "timing" necessary to comprehend or move with music.
You can train some animals to do certain things upon hearing a sound. Even if you train a dog to dance with you, to the dog the movements have nothing to do with music, they are just duplicated commands.
Theoretically, dancing and vocal comprehension may be linked. Theoretically Dolphins may also be able to "dance" as they may be able to recognize and synchronize with music because they also can duplicate sounds and communicate with vocal expression.
