dancing lessons or regular dancing?

Question

the answer given as correct for, Elle fait de la danse , is She takes dance lessons.    Surely it would mention ‘lesson’ in the French? Doesn’t it just mean she goes dancing regularly? 
merci

Accepted Answer

Bonjour Stephen,
See extract from the lesson below:
"When using "faire de la danse" or "faire de la natation" (FOR EXAMPLE) rather than simply "danser" or "nager", you refer more to an organised, repeated activity - I take dance lessons / I go swimming [as a regular activity, e.g. attending class or lessons] - than just a 'one-off' activity you're in the middle of doing such as I'm dancing / I'm swimming."

Elle danse = She's dancing / she dances
Elle fait de la danse = She takes danse lessons

I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
