My next tattoo I'm going to have "Dance with me" in Gaelic and I was wondering what the translation is. Thanks for your help!

Both rince liom and damhsa liom mean: dance with me.

Wonder why I read rince, I think of Irish Step Dancing and when I read damhsa I just think of generic dancing?

Both 'rince' and 'damhsa' are nouns (= 'a dance with me').
'Dance with me!' (imperative) = 'Déan damhsa liom'.
