Abstract
For a general definition of “dance,” it is advisable to confine oneself to the physical components, to the human body, and to space and time alone. The manifoldness and the variable cultural entanglements of “dance”—especially the dividing line drawn between the categories “ballet” and “dance”—defy any further definitional trial to give a very general functional outline. However, scholars like Curt Sachs and Joann Kealiinohomoku furthered the idea that all the phenomena of dance could be studied and interpreted by means of one consistent approach (informed by ethnology), no longer admitting western (high) culture a special status. Concepts like “Globalism and Dance” (Barbara Browning) or “Worlding Dance” (Susan Leigh Foster) have followed in this path. Recently, dance studies are confronted with the contexts of social media, video games, and a more and more differentiated leisure culture, in which dance becomes a medium for transnational forms of socialization. At the same time, traditional dance forms are incorporated in UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage and thereby redefined as global common property.

The German word tanz, in Middle High German tanz (first danz), is borrowed from the Old French danse and is documented since the twelfth century. In similar articulation it appears, except for the Spanish baile, within the most European languages—from the Portuguese dança, beyond the Czec tanec, up to the Finish tanssi.
- 2.
Rhythmic uniformity, a high degree of movability, and even quasi-choreographic patterns give cause to also speak of bees’ “dances” figuratively. The anthropocentric foundation of “dance” is not affected by doing so however.

Claude Conyers, Dance, in: Charles Hiroshi Garrett (ed.), The Grove Dictionary of American Music, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013 (2nd edition), p. 533, straightaway sets the homo sapiens and the homo religiosus to one side with the homo saltatorius.

Besides of the mentioned nouns with the roots ball- and choral-, the deep interweaving of the dance-like can also be observed within the following words: orcheísthai (ορχείσθαι), “to move,” “to dance” (later on, semantic change to “orchestra”); mimeísthai (μιμείσθαι), “to imitate,” ‘to represent through dance’; and paízein (παίζειν), “to play,” “to dance.” The Latin extracts the word “to dance” from the root sal- and forms the verb saltare (contracted from salitare) as an iterativum of salire, “to jump.” See Roger Harmon, Tanz. II. Klassische Antike, in: Hubert Cancik (ed.), Der neue Pauly. Enzyklopädie der Antike, vol. 12, Stuttgart/Weimar: Metzler, 2002, p. 14.

Championships are held in the standard dances (waltz, tango, Viennese waltz, foxtrot, slow foxtrot, and quickstep) and in Latin American dances (samba, cha-cha-cha, rumba, paso doble, and jive) and often in the discipline rock ‘n’ roll. Furthermore, other dances are executed in a sports context too, with national differences. Since 1989 World and European championships in wheelchair dance are also run.

E.g., the mudra (from the Sanskrit word mudrā, originally for “seal”), a system of hand movements and hand positions, which plays a prominent role in Indian dance especially; in its differentiation, diversity, and complexity, it shows analogies to the rhythmic organization of Indian music.

As a synonym for danzare, the Italian word ballare likewise means “to dance,” going back to the ancient Greek ballízein (βαλλίζειν). The diminutiv balletto from ballo (dance) expands into the French as ballett.
- 13.
“Ballet”—especially in the late Renaissance and Baroque—also designates spectacles and other social events with representative function involving music and dance. For Johann Gottfried Walther, “ballets” are “absonderlich zu Mummereyen und Aufzügen gemachte Tänze, welche auf dergleichen Mascaraden besondere inventiones gerichtet sind [‘peculiar dances made for masquerade and parades, which at suchlike are oriented toward special inventions’]” (Ballet, in: Musikalisches Lexicon oder musikalische Bibliothec, Leipzig: Deer, 1732, facsimile reprint, ed. by Richard Schaal, Kassel/Basel: Bärenreiter, 1953, p. 67). This aspect of a prominent and lavish spectacle can also be found in the type of Pferdeballett [horse ballet], still current today (e.g., in 2012, the choreographed Carrousel de Sanssouci).

“It is accurate to say that the dance is the single principle art that is either very nearly unmentioned in comprehensive overviews of aesthetic or else treated (almost in a second thought) by way of adjusting arguments strongly and directly grounded in the other arts—principally drama and music—or by way of notions of representation and expression, linked even with the analysis of the literary arts.” Joseph Margolis, The Autographic Nature of the Dance, in: Maxine Sheets-Johnstone (ed.), Illuminating Dance: Philosophical Explorations, Lewisburg/London: Bucknell Univ. Press/Associated Univ. Presses, p. 70. This constellation can possibly explain why the broader, international establishment of academic dance studies could only succeed toward the end of the twentieth century.

Die Puppenfee by Josef Bayer (1888) or Pjotr Čajkovskij‘s Nutcracker (1892) can illustrate the principle of the chain of dances of different peoples and nations, for example.

The strangeness and the lack of understanding of other cultures in mind, it seems symptomatic that the Oriental dance or “belly dance” of an Egyptian dancer at the Chicago World Exhibition (1893) was judged as a sensation superficially but above all morally and socially as a scandal.
- 23.
In 1923, Anna Pavlova met the art student Uday Shankar in London and inspired him to devote himself to dance, especially to that of his homeland. In doing so she gave the impulse for the later foundation of a company which was able to shape the Western stereotypes of “Indian dance” for a long time—linking the European ballet technique with Indian stylistic elements and choreographic figures.

When going with Dirk Baecker, who describes globalization as “Ausweitung des Erwartungshorizonts [‘extension of the horizon of expectations’]” and claims that “die Weltgesellschaft normative Erwartungen zurücknimmt und statt dessen stärker auf einen kognitiven Erwartungsstil umstellt [‘World Society takes back normative expectations, and is shifting about toward a cognitive mode of expectation instead’],” then these two claims can be transferred to the situation described above too—with the only difference that it would not apply as effects but as conditions for globalization processes here: Dirk Baecker, Wozu Kultur?

Such technological developments offer hitherto unexpected possibilities moreover, to—by analogy with film—systematically observe and study dance beyond its transitory nature too, at least in major aspects. Thus at this stage the transformation of dance research into veritable dance studies was strongly supported.

The editorial decision of The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians to distinguish the terms “dance” and “ethnochoreology” from one another (see. above, note 9) thus seems to offer the most mature approach, to remodel or mitigate this dichotomy at least conceptually.

Media Representations of Dance. London: Libbey, 1993, p. 53. Instead, it is proposed here to pay more attention to the »pop star as dancer«-phenomenon (ibid., p. 58), by what means dance gets forcefully removed from being categorized as an accessory part.

Detailed dance tutorial videos as, e.g., Mandy Jiroux offers it on her YouTube channel, partly do show up eight-digit user access numbers and clearly refute the evaluation of Claudia Rosiny, according to which “kennzeichnend für Tanz auf YouTube ist die vorherrschende bewusste und ungenierte Amateurhaftigkeit [‘characteristic for dance on YouTube is the predominant conscious and unabashed amateurishness’]” (Claudia Rosiny, Tanz Film, op. cit., p. 298) as well as “die Zelebrierung des Banalen, Blöden und Hässlichen [‘the celebration of the banal, stupid and ugly’]” (Ibid., p. 294f.), in the sense of dorky dance. Remarkably, the mentioned dancer obviously uses the popularity of her dance tutorial format also in terms of cross marketing, to promote her career as a singer.
