What do my cats think of my dancing? Do cats understand our body language?

I know you can tell a lot about a cat’s mood just by their tail and body language, but I’ve always wondered if it’s reciprocated in the same fashion.

Do cats understand or know how to interpret our body language? Besides reaching out to pet them, or playing/throwing a toy for attention. I dance around the house all the time and my cats always seem to get hyper and excited.

cats are very social, in the wild they live in communal groups. the strong bring food for the sick, all moms raise the kittens in one nursery where all duties, including nursing are shared. if one mom dies, the moms raise her kittens.
if one cat thinks a predator is nearby, he will go into a defense posture while he investigates, the others will see this and do the same, even though no one else sees the predator. they are ready to defend the pride because one cat thought he saw something.
i would guess, yours see the dancing as a warning, that you are being chased by something or are preparing for an attack. so, your cats are on high alert, looking for the danger. Jr. is angry

not human body language per se, but they are definitely reading and interpreting our movements.
like prolonged staring at a cat is aggressive, towering over them is like dominance
I know what you mean though with regards to cats getting hyper. Sometimes I practice my kickboxing at home, and it tends to make them playful Taylor
