I don’t see anything wrong here. Her “reactions” were harmless. If anything, if I was your girlfriend, I would be upset at YOUR reaction.
First, she gave a very valid and reasonable explanations for the dancing. It was 15 seconds my god. And clearly she knew you would see her and wasn’t worried about it.
Even if a younger man asked her to dance and she obliged – this still can be harmless. There’s many cultures/instances where dancing is literally just dancing! For the fun of it. Not something you only do with romantic partners.
Your insecurities are showing and I wouldn’t want to be with someone who feels they have to watch me like a hawk and I can’t interact with the opposite gender for even 15 seconds without it causing an issue.
You’re young and hopefully you grow out of it but really, if anyones reactions were in poor taste, it was yours.
You don’t need to be on a break. You need to break up. You’re in your 30s. This sort of behavior is the kind you’d hear from younger people. Your boyfriend of 8 years is pushing 40 and behaving like a child. For your own physical and mental well being, let this asshole go. Nothing here is worth salvaging.

Just break up. This toxic relationship isn't good for either of you.
I’m sorry, but she is being absolutely unreasonable and frankly, cruel.
You have a right to touch your own body. The fact that you discussed it and she still continued to treat you distantly is not cool.
I know you love her, but she has issues that she needs to work through. She’s not being fair to you.
