Explanation:
I was going to suggest hit the dancefloor but that would imply going to a club/disco or at least somewhere where there is ample space to dance so I'd put something like this

Get up and dance

Or

Do a bit of dancing ...more or less as you suggested.

Of course hit the dancefloor is fine if there is in fact a dancefloor there.
