It depends on what you're trying to do, but I find that sometimes it's better to use the reader's imagination rather than explain every beat in detail. Hyper-detailed scenes can get tedious and can lose the momentum if you're not careful, and I think that readers usually have good imaginations and sometimes it's better just to let them do the work. But that depends on what your goal with the scene is.

To use the dance analogy: if you were to write about a dance, I think it's important to ask yourself: why are you writing this scene? What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to show us that your character is graceful? Awkward? Are you trying to evoke an emotion? Are you showing the chemistry between your character and the partner? Does the reader really need to be able to follow every step and pivot well enough to recreate it? Probably not. 

Details can be important. Maybe you have a dance-based magic system and it's crucial to hint to the readers that someone is pop-and-locking a spell up in the dance circle. Or maybe a body-snatcher has replaced your character's lover and is outed by dancing in a markedly different style than before. In those situations, I think details are important. But I think details for the sake of details should be questioned.

I think the same applies with action sequences and probably every other kind of scene. You have to ask yourself why the reader needs all the details. 

Now I kind of want to come up with a dance-magic system.
