Should I leave my pedometer/fitness band on while dancing?

I'm thinking that maybe, swinging my arms etc, may be incorrectly counted as taking a step? should I keep it on?

    I keep mine on and can always adjust your goals to accommodate for the margin. The main thing is its a great way to compare different days activity and heart rate activities

    So-you are moving and burning calories when you dance-right?

    Depending on the clothing and speed of the band I sometimes wear my HRM.
