When one wastes time going down the wrong track, has to then back track to the start, before embarking on the right track.
It would typically be obvious to others which was the right and wrong track, but the subject would not be for listening to the advice, ultimately proven wrong and look stupid

We got the fork in the road and did a little dilly-dance up and down the wrong road before taking the right road and completing our walk.

The frantic waving and brushing yourself off after walking in to a spiderweb (especially in the dark).
While taking the garbage out, I walked in to a massive spiderweb, droppped the bin on my foot, screamed like a banshee and did the spiderweb dance.

The Pine Brook people can do the backyard dance better than the Liberty Heights people. In Liberty Heights we were stuck in one place all night.

In the context of the TV-series "Z Nation", the phrase "dance space" is used metaphorically by Murphy to assert his personal boundaries and ask for some personal space. It's a humorous way of telling the zombies to back off and give him some room to breathe.
In general, the term "dance space" is not a commonly used expression in everyday language. However, it draws upon the idea of personal boundaries and the distance people need to feel comfortable and respected by others during social interactions. It could be applied in various situations where someone wants others to give them some space, physically or emotionally.

Imagine you are at a crowded party, and you find yourself surrounded by people trying to engage you in conversation or dance with you. You might say, "Hey, guys, I need my dance space for a bit. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. Let me catch my breath, and then we can chat later."

Dancing brilliant is where people almost got it and almost said it but then they hold back and don't say it.
