Hassidic attitude to dance expressed in song lyrics

א רקידה'לע, (a dance), a song by singer Beri Weber, on his Beezras Hashem Yisbarach release, a piece of which can be heard by going to the linked page (fourth clip), includes the following among its lyrics

כשבן אדם מרקד, מגביה למעלה, משפיע למטה, נחת און השפעות ברענגט

translation - when a person dances, he lifts himself upward (heavenward), and creates good influence below (on earth), bringing nachas and hashpaos (נחת and good influences), as well as, in Yiddish,


די כח איז זייער גרויס. מיט יעדען טאנץ און יעדען שפרינג, נחת און השפעות ברענגט

translation - The power (of dance) is very great. Every dance and every jump brings nachas and hashpaos (נחת and good influences).  


Anyone know where the lyrics are from?
