Dance is a rhythmic motion for one or more of a number of reasons: social cohesion, psychological or physiological catharsis, exibitionism, autohypnosis, pleasure, ecstasy, sexual selection, play recreation, development of artistic values, stimulus to action, aggressive or non-aggressive, extension and affirmation of social patterns, and others.
(Katherine Dunham, "Notes on the Dance, with Special Reference to the Island of Haiti," in Seven Arts, 1954)
