02br
00I'm trying to say that he would do this singing and dancing during that time in which he was happy.02br
02br
00Is that what this sentence is saying?02br

0<...I'm trying to say that he would do this singing and dancing during that time in which he was happy...>02br
02br
00Yes, that's what it says.02br
02br
00In your sentence, the past perfect ("he'd been") refers not to a time before the singing and dancing, but to a time before some other situation, which you haven't specified. 02br
