The dance - referring mostly to the last few minutes of episode 6 and most of 7 - served 3 goals: 1. Show the lighthearted side of ALL the characters in RWBY and that great interaction between Ruby and Ozpin, 2. Address Pyrrha's issue of acceptance through Jaune's issues of wanting to be accepted - his "macho act" is basically a side effect of his actual problem: the need to prove himself worthy and the extremes he's willing to go to - and 3. Like you said it was a comic relief thing. It was a bad choice by the writers but hey gut decision this is their show. Just be sure to adress it in a calm and constructive manner. Honestly if JaunexWeiss was just ignored after Volume 1 and they instead focused on Jaune saying things like "I won't go to the dance", "maybe i'll go with Ruby as friends" or just joke around about teaching Neptune how to dance it would have been better in my opinion while still serving his purpose as a push for Pyrrha to open up. Again however this is what they went with and seeing how that whole affair was done for the shippers i personally blame tumblr.
