Nobody knows for sure beyond speculation, but there seems to be some serious issue with the developers getting Sims to actually interact with one another. Most of the group interactions are messy. Take, for instance, snowball fights. They won't even face each other as they throw snowballs, lol. It's such bad and embarrassing quality that it's actually laughable.
Group dancing suffers the same problem. Unless you're doing the synchronized dance moves where Sims look like robots doing the same exact dance routine, they don't dance together. They just dance, while happening to be near each other.
When people are disappointed in The Sims 4, it's really things like that which come up in conversation. Ending support of The Sims 3 and scrapping open world to start all over with the purpose of focusing on Sims themselves should have resulted in things like this to be the LEAST likely scenario. But, as we see, that's not the case, and then the next question that comes up is, beyond the obvious cash-grab, what is The Sims 4's purpose and contribution to the series?
Yeah, Sims 3 (and maybe 2? sorry) has a *fast* dance "with" interaction that looks really smooth, like whoa skillz! Haha. It may not fit every clumsy, ol' sim but they DEFINITELY dance *together,* even fast, if you direct them to dance with and not just dance (near).
I tried to start this at 29 seconds, but it won't. :/ This video is jittery and laggy, but these dances look REALLY smooth in my game, I swear. Haha. :D

And then there are apparently more club dances that I haven't experienced yet (except table dance, hehe), because I just haven't done all the stuff or played clubs much (and skill is involved). I see them in the video now. Awesome. They all work well together.
And then there's the Smustle, more common in Sims 2 since it doesn't require any skill. Sims 2 sims do that all the time, including together. It's AWESOME.
