(dǎo) — to tread, to step on; to dance

Definition

蹈 (dǎo) means 'to tread or step on'; it is almost never used alone — it appears mainly in set phrases like 赴汤蹈火 ('go through fire and water') and 重蹈覆辙 ('repeat the same mistake'). The 'dance' sense is an old/literary extension of 'treading the feet'.
