Definitions and quotes

Dance
Dance is a performing art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement. This movement has aesthetic and symbolic value, and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observers within a particular culture. Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography, by its repertoire of movements, or by its historical period or place of origin.
Dance
On with the dance! let joy be unconfined;
No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet.
Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, Canto III (1816), Stanza 22.
Dance
The historical weight of traditional forms (in India) provides both a firm technical base to train in, and a firm place from which to launch into new territories. ‘Distinctive Indian style’ is arguably more about the diversity of styles than anything more unifying. From my individual Western viewpoint as a theatre programmer and producer, I see a lack of professionals to help link artists and their work with the right audiences. It is extremely testing for artists to do the fundraising, marketing, press and publicity and contractual negotiations - as well as have the energy and focus to create fresh, stimulating work."
Emma Gladstone quoted in "New shores, uncharted waters". The Hindu. 17 November 2012. 
Dance
Of what is the body made!
It is made of emptiness and rhythm.
At the ultimate heart of the body , at the heart of.
the world there is no solidity…there is only the dance.
George B.Leonard, p. 189.
