is "dance" a noun or a verb, or both?

and the same for: We saw her dancing.

It could be either.

Reference:

[#7787289] We saw Tom dance.
[#7787290] We saw Tom's dance.


For the "dancing" version, it's unlikely to be understood as a noun, but I assume it could be.

[#7787291] We saw Tom dancing.

X We saw Tom's dancing.
This is very unlikely to occur very often, if at all.
