<p>(No matter) how many times she hears the song, whenever (it) is played, she (will dance around) the room (as if) she has never heard the song before. </p>
<p>i think the answer is "will dance around" but im not sure though. can someone please elaborate? thanks</p>
<p>yes it’s “will dance around,” as it should be “dances around” or something like that.</p>
<p>“whenever” is an arbitrary time. it is not the future. “will dance around” indicates an explicit event in the future. the present tense, on the other hand, can express habit (e.g., I eat breakfast daily")</p>
