ok after a quick lookup. Sodium combined with animals that absorb things through their skin, makes their muscles contract. The Animal is dead, it is dancing because the soy sauce they are pouring on it has salt which causes the muscles to contract through magical biology things.

It's not dead. It has been decapitated, but a squid's brain is located directly behind its eyes rather than in the "head" per se. Also, note how coordinated its movements are. It clearly grips the sides of the bowl and then tries to crawl away. The rear tentacles started reacting before the soy sauce even touched them, besides, so I don't think that explanation flies at all.
