Quiero que mi amigo baile
It is not very clear to me what you need. We could write an indirect command joining both sentences, but, perhaps you want an example applied only to the second part (which wouldn't make much sense)... and, do you want to keep the same personal pronoun?
Ud. esta cansado. Su amigo quiere bailar. (querer) > Quiero que mi amigo baile (this would be the most logical sentence)
Ud. esta cansado. Su amigo quiere bailar. (querer) > Quiero que mi amigo baile (this would be the most logical sentence)

Ud. está cansado. Su amigo desea (tiene deseos o ganas) de bailar.
En Colombia decimos "ganas" en lenguaje coloquial. Si lo requieres elegante, coloca "deseos". Suerte con ésta y un saludo desde Medellín.

¿No quieres descansar?
Seems a typical exam exercise. What would you tell your friend (indirectly) if you were tired and he wanted to dance/go on dancing?
