Happiness and joy were always a central motif in the daily life of a chosid, especially in the month of Adar which is the month happiness. In the later years, in addiction to the general Adar happiness, the Rebbe added dancing.
It started in 5752 (1992) what was as well a leap year (as this year) with two Adars (60 days). The Rebbe spoke over and over about the idea of "Bitul Beshishim", Halachically speaking it means that something prohibited can become permitted in a case that it is between 60 that are permitted. The same said Rebbe we can learn concerning negative things that we can nullify them through Simcha, this is especially this year when Adar has 60 days.
After what had happened to the Rebbe's health that years on 27 Adar Alef the chasidim suddenly understood to what the Rebbe was referring to. And like spontaneously chasidim in 770 and from all around the world started dancing.
Dancing every night of Adar started earlier that Adar, especially after the Rebbe's strong answer and support to the organizers of the dancing, but as above, the daily dancing was much stronger implemented after 27 Adar Alef that year, and from 770 to all the Yeshives an communities around the world.
