You can "dance" but, IMO, it's better to concentrate to your sword and attack as quickly as possible. There is an exception: it's a problem to switch from weapon to magic and back during a melee combat. It helps if you run away and switch during the run. Then turn back and continue the fight.
Speaking the switching: potions do not suffer from the recovery penalty of the weapon-magic change. You can open your inventory (and stop the game time) immediately without any penalty, use the potion and close the inventory - again, without any penalty. The potion effect takes place immediately after closing the inventory. Therefore, it is a good idea having some healing potions and restore fatigue potions in your inventory.
