Ric Masten's "Let It Be A Dance" is great as a live version. This is actually in the UU hymnal.

Let It Be a Dance by Ric Masten

Chorus: Let it be a dance we do.
May I have this dance with you?
Through the good times
And the bad times, too,
Let it be a dance.
Let a dancing song be heard.
Play the music say the words,
Fill the sky with sailing birds.
Let it be a dance.
Let it be a dance.
Let it be a dance
Learn to follow, learn to lead,
Feel the rhythm, fill the need.
To reap the harvest, plant the seed.
And let it be a dance....
Chorus.
Everybody turn and spin,
Let your body learn to bend,
and, like a willow with the wind,
Let it be a dance.
Let it be a dance.
Let it be a dance
A child is born, the old must die,
A time for joy, a time to cry.
Take it as it passes by.
And let it be a dance....
Chorus.
Morning star comes out at night,
Without the dark there is no light.
If nothing's wrong, then nothing's right.
Let it be a dance.
Let it be a dance.
Let it be a dance.
Let the sun shine, let it rain,
Share the laughter, bare the pain,
And round and round we go again.
Let it be a dance....
Chorus. From a sermon - PDF. The story behind the song.

Ric - A great poet and a great person.

As long as I am on meaningful dance songs, or songs about dance with meaning, I am also reminded of Leonard Cohen's 'Dance me to the End of Love.'
