Also means
in that case
Usage Note
dann is sequential 'then/next' and, in conditionals, the 'then' that answers a wenn-clause. In first position it triggers verb-second inversion: Dann gehen wir ('Then we'll go'). Don't confuse it with denn ('because' / a softening particle).
Examples
"Erst essen wir, dann gehen wir."
Natural Translation
First we eat, then we go.
