Hello, "Dare", could you help me with the use of this word? I guess its cojugations are irregular. For instance, are these sentences well written?

Don't dare you.
How dared you?
How dare you doing me this?
How dare you doing this to me?
Do not dare telling her about those girls
Do not dare to tell them you know how to dance

Thanks a lot in advanced

I don't think "dare" is irregular. The forms are: dare, dared, dared, daring.

How <strike>dared</strike> dare you?
How dare you doing me this? [No. See next sentence.]
How dare you <strike>doing</strike> do this to me?
Do not dare telling her about those girls. [Ok.]
Do not dare to tell them you know how to dance. [Ok.]
