    Default when

    Which are correct:

    1-We went to the same dance school so there is some similarity between when I dance and when he does.
    2-We went to the same dance school so you might notice some similarity between when I dance and when he does.

    3-We went to the same dance school so when I dance and when he does, there is some simirlarity.
    4-We went to the same dance school so when I dance and when he does you might notice some simirlarity.

    #1 and #2 would mean that there is a similarity in the times of our dancing - highly unlikely.

    #3 and #4 are possible but with the word order I have suggested. More natural still would be:

    We went to the same dance school, so you might notoce some similarity in our dancing styles / in the way we dance.

    I think this would sound better like this:

    2-We went to the same dance school so you might notice some similarity/similarities when we dance.

    Please give more helpful titles, navi, such as We went to the same dance school. We don't charge by the word.

    When tells us nothing.
