"Te Quiero Bailar"

I am really baffled by this phrase. "Te Quiero" is "I love you". Without having the entire phrase translate this, I take it as "I love you dancing" which doesn't make sense to me. is the "te" an indirect object of the verb "quiero" or "bailar"?

Hi there! I am a native Spanish speaker from Spain and I must say that I've never heard Te quiero bailar before. I would be translated to I want to dance you.
One does not dance somebody. One dances with somebody. Am I wrong?

Could it be -Ti quiero bailar,-you want to dance ? - ray76, Oct 25, 2013
Hello Ray. In that case the verb "querer" should be conjugated accordingly. (Tú - quieres) ➔ ¿Quieres bailar? = (You want to dance?) - RelaxingCup, Oct 25, 2013

By the way, "Te quiero" literally means "I want you". But you are right that it implies "I love you." Enjoy learning!
