4 days confidence:  zatoz nirekin dantzatzera
Explanation:
In Basque, we do not use "please" as often as in English, so I have omitted this word in the Basque sentence, because in Basque it would sound too polite or as if this young man was begging. Using “please” in Basque would sound approximately as if in English we would repeat "please": "please, please come to dance with me".
Apart from the sentence I have proposed, another option would be "etorri nirekin dantzatzera", which is a slightly more basic wording, and less personal: "zatoz" is an invitation for only one person (a singular "you"), while "etorri" can be an invitation for one (singular "you") or for several (a plural "you").
