Question: in my machzor “techina” for licht bentchen of Shmini Atzeres it says (beZchus) women coming to Shul to kiss the Sefer Torah.

Anybody’s Shul still has women do that (at the one’s I frequent I’ve never seen it)? And if a Shul does give women a chance to kiss the Torah, I’d assume having separate dancing without a Torah would be a step down and away from the Minhag. — which everyone here seems to agree that there is none regarding women and Simchas Torah regarding dancing etc.
