dance form

Dance form refers to the structured pattern or organization of movements within a dance piece. It involves the arrangement and phrasing of sequences, sections, and motifs that give the dance its shape and flow. Just as a musical composition has a form—like verse, chorus, and bridge—dance form helps convey a story, emotion, or theme through its organized segments. Understanding dance form allows performers and choreographers to create and interpret dances with coherence and purpose, guiding both the development of movement and the audience’s perception of the performance.
