Answer 1

As defined at the following website, a phrase is a group of related words without a verb  ... like  "in the woods," "cool glass of water," and "good night ’s sleep":

So by that (good) definition, "dance like no one is watching" isn't a phrase because it contains the verb, "dance."   [It is, rather, a clause, because it contains both a subject and a verb, and could stand alone as a sentence.   (The subject is "you," understood.)]

A quote can be any word or group of words that represent exactly what someone said or wrote.   For example, if someone said, "In the woods" or  "Wow!" then "in the woods" or "Wow!" would be a quote (sometimes called a quotation) because it reports exactly what they said, no matter whether it is a phrase or what.   To indicate that something is a quote, it's normally placed within quotation marks.
