Thank you! When I was uploading the pic it asked for the sex. Since reading about the spider, it sounds like this is the female. Would you agree? Not sure how I feel about “dancing spiders” lol
The larger one (The one in your pic) is a female. A male would look like a baby compared to her. At my mom’s there is usually about 6 to 10 of these that make a home in the trees. We said they were dancing because they would make their webs kind of bounce. But we left them alone and they didn’t bother us.
This is Trichonephila clavipes. Some orbweavers shake their webs like actors in a haunted house rattle jail bars. It is meant to scare you and any predators away. Striped Garden Spiders, Argiope trifasciata, do it too. It scared the guy who was standing next-to me, which was great!

this is a golden orb weaver. Growing up my grandmother called them Banana Spiders. They love to “dance” in your face if you get to close.
