"i don't like dance" vs "i don't like dancing"

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'I don't like dance' is not commonly used in English and sounds awkward because 'dance' should be used as a gerund ('dancing') after 'like.' On the other hand, 'I don't like dancing' is the correct and more natural way to express a dislike for the activity of dancing.
