When you say dancing, are you meaning the deliberate rocking back and forth when walking?

 

[Jack cam]

Yes like that

That is an adaptive behavior that exists in chameleons. It is an act of mimicry. They do that to break up the normal motions of something just walking through the tree tops or along the forest floor. This helps in making it appear as if they were an object whose movements were susceptible to wind direction and change(e.g. leaves and branches). Can you post a pic of his enclosure please?

I made his enclosure my profile pic

So the reason he is doing that so much is vulnerability. The cage needs to be stuffed with live plants and horizontal branches for perching. Chameleons feel extremely vulnerable when out in the open, so no matter where he is in the enclosure, he feels this way. Once you give the little guy more places to nestle into and feel more secure, this behavior will lessen as he becomes more settled into his new home.

From that pic I would say you need a lot more foliage and vines for him to walk on. And there are other things that might be missing that we could help point you in the right direction if that would be ok. That's why Jpowell86 wanted you to post a pic.
