Sorry, but those horses aren't dancing...they're displaying signs of stress, and the stall layout will eventually lead to one of them getting hurt.- this video is sad to watch because the horses are obviously agitated. I hope it was feed time and they were all acting out.
I don't mean to burst anyone's bubble. but the horses are not "dancing". That type of behavior is a sign of agitation and it borders on Weaving. Weaving is a stress behavior. If the horse in the middle is also threatening and biting the other two, maybe moving him would lower his stress?
The horse on the right Stretch, who opened Arturo's gate and let him out while I was videoing. These horses live at Bright Futures Farm; a horse rescue in Spartensburg, PA, run by Beverly Dee. I am a volunteer there.

check out videos of "stall weaving" such as the one posted by user holyrockthrower. The behavior is exactly the same.
