The Nataraja roopa of Shiva is considered Rudra... the angry one, and is therefore not worshipped in the homes.
But the Shiva who dances is not angry. Shiva loves dance. Shiva is mridul (soft) in dance.
Shiva loves to dance. Loves the soft rhythm and the flow.
The Nataraja roopa mudra is angry, but it is not representative of the relationship between Shiva and dance. In it, as the name goes, he is the king of dancers, but not one in tune with his own inner flow. For in that, there is no raja, only vileena. (Vileen - to merge into something)
