'Daaahnce' is not the British pronunciation of 'dance'. Many people in 
Britain would pronounce the vowel sound to rhyme with man. All depends which 
part of Britain you come from and how much your pronunciation has been 
affected by contact with other ways of pronouncing it.

Very silly movie though!
