Hi: 
Aaron Morris says:

"There are some honeybees (I hesitate to use "species" or
"races" because I am vague on the recollection and cannot provide
references) that exhibit the behavior of shaking (actually it is more like a tremble) to alert their sisters to the fact that they have a varroa mite attached to them.  The trembling bee is assisted by her sisters, who sieze upon the mite and dismember it.  "

It is true:
The specie is Apis Cerana and is the original host of Varroa .They are less injured with varroa because they have a shorter development period. On the other hand Varroa only infests drones brood and finally A.Cerana workers show a special cleaning or grooming behavior and can rid their bodies of the mites, they groom themselves and other workers biting and killing the mites and expulsing them of the hive.
I think there is some confusion related to the dances and the dislodge of the mites, they are two different things, perhaps the confusion is because the different species of Apis make different dances and in different places of the nest,and this two behaviors are not related.
