Default 28-did a dance?

Dear all

Hello

Is this sentence grammatically correct?
(An MBA student jumped on top of the counter and did a dance.)
Shall I use DID A DANCE or I should say
(… and danced.)

Thanks a million

Matilda

Default Re: 28-did a dance?

Both work:

. . . did a (kind of) dance <noun>
. . . danced <verb>

Hope that helps.
