Usage Note
Baile covers both the act of dancing (el baile flamenco) and a formal dance event (un baile de gala). It differs from danza, which tends to imply a more structured or theatrical form; baile is the everyday, colloquial word. The verb is bailar, and a dancer is bailarín (m) / bailarina (f).
Examples
"El baile flamenco es típico del sur de España."
