From the announcement on the Apple Newsroom website:
Globally, dance is one of the most popular and fun ways to stay active. It’s also a workout type on Apple Watch with an algorithm that can capture accurate calorie exertion even with the unique challenges of measuring different body-to-arm motions typical with dance, and has been a flagship workout type for Fitness+ since it launched. Starting April 25, Fitness+ will celebrate dance all week long.
