If women want to dance out of happiness for the torah, I personally think that they can dance at home with other women and with their little kids. But women don’t have the mitzvah of tefilin, davening with a minyan, wearing a yarmulka, or doing HAKAFOT! Men are dancing because they have to do the hakafot of simchat torah, they dance because they are happy to be doing this mitzvah. Women are not commanded to do these mitzvot for a reason.
