Does it have to be for dementia sufferers?
What sort of dance classes are you looking for? What about keep fit type classes- would she be able to participate in an ordinary 'Joe public' class? If so, do it!
I'd have thought most dementia sufferers would struggle with dancing and doubt you'll find any dedicated dance sessions for dementia suffers, especially locally

Hiya,
Unfortunately you don't say what type of dancing the lady might like, but I found these groups which look like fun...http://mku3a.org/interest-groups/dancing-groups/. Plus, you can contact them in advance and explain the situation if you feel that is necessary. I liked the line dance one where they say no one remembers the dances ... But where there seems to be a good social side to it too so even take the lady for a cup of tea and let her watch for starters.
