        DefinitionShort: patterned rhythmic movements of the whole and/or parts of the body, normally to the accompaniment of music

        Glosses: ['to dance', 'dancing']

        Comments: In a number of languages there are highly specific terms for various types of dancing, and one must make certain that the appropriate expression is used. Some terms for dancing may refer only to erotic dances; others, to highly ritualized performances in drama or religious practice; and still others may refer to personal expressions of happiness, joy, or grief. Special care must be exercised in selecting a term which will fit the context.
