Morphology
The sense ‘a dance involving bubbles or bubble-like props’ follows directly from combining 'bubble' (a transparent/round object) with 'dance' (a performance of rhythmic movement). This is a straightforward compositional noun phrase and a B1 learner who knows both constituent words would likely infer the general idea without prior exposure.
Etymology
Bubble dance comes from old cabaret and burlesque shows where a solo performer used large round balloons like big bubbles to hide and then reveal her body while she danced. So the bubble part refers to the balloons and the dance part to the solo performance, which is why the phrase means 'a solo dance using large balloons to conceal and show the dancer'.
