Does 'saltó' ever mean 'to dance'?
While the Latin root *saltare* historically related to dancing movements, in modern Spanish, 'saltar' almost exclusively means 'to jump' or 'to skip/omit.' You should use 'bailar' for 'to dance'.
How do I know if 'saltó' refers to 'he,' 'she,' or 'you (formal)'?
All three pronouns use the exact same verb form ('él saltó,' 'ella saltó,' 'usted saltó'). You have to look at the subject of the sentence or the context of the conversation to know who is doing the jumping.
