Pain in knee area
I have been having pain in my knee area and I can feel it vibrate when I move it. It hurts when I bend or straighten it, generally the pain is just below the knee. I have not got hurt on it. I think it hurts when I kneel down(I always kneel down only on the yoga mat or bed) because I have some excercises while being on all fours. I do dance classes. It's more in my left knee than my right.

It may be your knee cap that hurts when it is compressed.
Use icing 15 minutes with towel wrapping 2 to 3 times a day. Avoid going on the floor or bunch up the mat to form a cushion under your knee. If it still hurts avoid that position

Take proper cushioning under your knee while in the all fours position. Work on strengthening your knee structures. Apply an ice pack on the knee region for 7 minutes thrice a day for 2 days and it will settle down.

First i would say in this your age it is not because of your any underlying disease, it might be due to your yoga (in which knees get overstretched) or it might any jerk at your knee while dancing.
Next Steps
better to see a physiotherapist and take at least 5 sitting, then you can gradually increase your exercises.
Health Tips
apply ice pack thrice a day and perform isometric exercises of knee.( you can find that on google only)

Hi there,
Apply ice if the pain has just started and see if that helps. If it is a simple work related stress, it should subside with ice. If need be protect you knee with a knee guard. Compression may help for a while.
I also do kinesiotaping for the knee and knee rehab exercises which is very effective in such cases. Let me know if you need help.
Next Steps
If it does not subside, in a day or two, preferably reach out to an ortho for an X-ray to check if there is any effusion.
Health Tips
Do not over stress your knee with movements while in pain with yoga or dancing for a few days
