Dancing to the melody of it, or any other music, seems to be more of an advanced stage that one reaches as they become more skilled at either dancing or hearing the music.

I think you're confusing a consistent tempo with a consistent rhythm. 
The tempo is how many beats per minute. The rhythm is the pattern in 
time created by the emphasised beats.
