No. What I'm saying is that estoy bailando literally translates as I am dancing, but in meaning it does not. Translating meaning gives you:
bailo - I dance / I am dancing
estoy bailando - I am in the act of dancing
The simple present tense in Spanish is usually used where we would use the present progressive in English.
Leo un libro = I'm reading a book.
