What purpose is served by lady Macbeth's invocation of the powers of evil and darkness?

Dramatically, it establishes the lengths to which she is prepared to go (or thinks she is prepared to go) in order to get the crown. The audience now knows her to be ruthless and evil. They will modify that opinion later but for now it will colour the audience's understanding of all the scenes between the Macbeths until Macduff discovers Duncan's body. Whether the character thinks she will benefit from it is hard to say. Does she really believe in the evil spirits she is invoking? Or is it just a turn of phrase? Director's call, probably.

What does For you and I are past our dancing days mean?

The phrase "For you and I are past our dancing days" suggests a sense of nostalgia and recognition that the carefree, joyful times of youth have come to an end. It implies a transition into a more serious or reflective phase of life, where the lightheartedness of dancing—often associated with youth and freedom—no longer applies. This sentiment can evoke feelings of loss but also acceptance of maturity and the passage of time.
