Morphology
The meaning 'a school where people receive instruction in dancing' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'dance' (to move rhythmically to music) with 'school' (an institution for learning). This straightforward noun–noun composition is common in English and cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Dance school is a simple picture: a school where people go to learn dance. That's why it means 'a school where people receive instruction and training in dancing'.
