Smooth English

I have seen that he danced

I perceived that there was a person who moved and used the sound of his voice and not music played by other people. Nobody has taught him to dance, but he gives his dancing for everybody. It can be assumed that his usual dance style is joyful and pleases everyone. He can move without hindrance and his dance has been shown. He turns himself like one alive. His deeds make him as joyful as everyone else, because he can do them. But because of this his usual dance has made him beautiful and sad. This has created something that is both complicated and different from other people.
