I have tried to dance by touching the ball in clubs but it never works, why is it not working?

I have tried touching the big glowing ball in clubs, I get the option "Dance!' and I click it but nothing happens. Why doesn't touching the ball work in my case? and is there a command to just type so one can start dancing if the ball doesn't work?

You could be wearing an AO that overides the club's dances. Detach or desactivate your personal animation before clicking the ball.

The dance ball will ask you for permission to animate your avatar. This will be a pop-up notice in the upper right corner of your screen. You have to click a button to allow it to make you dance - it won't start you dancing if you don't do this. If you don't respond to the notice in a certain amount of time it will shrink to an icon of an envelope - you can then click on the icon to get the notice back. It can be easy to miss the notifications if you aren't looking for them.

Most dance machines behave in similar ways, so you can usually walk into a new club and understand quickly how to use their dance machine.  Every once in a while, though, you can be surprised by one with a new menu or a different activating button.  If you ever have a question and don't see an obvious sign, just ask someone who is already dancing.  They obviously figured it out.
