When Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach was alive, I once attended Hoshana Rabba at night. While the men were
singing and dancing feverishly, a few women made a circle in the back and also danced. This was ok.
Men have their mitzvos, and women have theirs. Why would some women feel a need to step into the men’s area? Don’t they have enough of their own? If a few women feel a strong need to dance, they can do that in the women’s section. They don’t have to get a Sefer Torah from the men. If they must have one, let them bring a small one from home. I am certain they can borrow one somewhere.
