How to write a dance in a screenplay?

Have you ever seen “Step up” or “Street dance 3d”? Then you know how awesome the dance scenes are. But how do you write a dance scene in a screenplay? Can someone of you explain it, please?
 
Lol, just write the dance scene generally. The choreographers will take care of the scene when the film is being shot. That is not for you. If there are any specifics you want to see in the scene, then you write that in detail.
 
We have a dance scene in my second feature (DETOURS), and like Quality says, I just wrote that they dance to a country music song.

When we shot it, we had a guy who choreographed it for the 2 main actors & the extras. We used temp music for the scene, and our post production sound guy added in the actual music.
