: This is an inaccurate use of the term 'close-up lens', but I think it's what they really mean. // Please see my own 'comment' answer...

See comment below...
Such a lens could be used here if the camera was actually up amongst the dancers as they were dancing.
A more usual scenario would be that the photographer would use a long focus or telephoto lens in order to take close-up shots of the dancers, even from quite far away. This is NOT the correct technical meaning of the word 'close-up lens', but seems to be what is actually intended here.
In view of the apparent technically incorrect original usage, I think you would be justified in this particular case in translating it correctly by what they OUGHT to have said (as suggested by CMJ), though ideally you ought to seek clarification of this point from client.
