Keep on ? keep ?

I would like to ask something that i'm confused

1) Keep on dancing
2) Keep dancing

Which one is correct ?
And what different between both of these ?
Thanks Emotion: smile)

Both are fine. 'On' is an adverb of emphasis here: it stresses the continuousness of 'keep'. It also makes the sentence slightly less formal, I think.
