This is incorrect. The google dance is/was(who knows what they are up to with these rolling updates) only the period when google propogates it's new database to all of its servers. This would have nothing to do with google applying an expired domain filter. If anything it would make sense to have the OLD site up when the GoogleBOT came crawling so they see the same site in their cache. It's when the site becomes radically different that problems would arrise and a red flag could be raised. What they then likely do is compare the site against their existing cache, and if it is radically different they run a whois check. They simply don't have the processing power to whois check over 4.2 billion documents for no reason, so they become selective. The dance has nothing to do with this.
