The idea of dance as a language would no doubt surprise most folk seeing as Rosetta Stone hasn’t yet released its “Dance” software. However, by definition, dance can be considered a language, as it is a “nonverbal method of expression or communication” (Oxford). In a literal context, bees perform a dance to communicate to their hives. If you think about it, dance was probably one of the very first human languages, as most elderly civilizations use(d) dance to communicate with the gods themselves, and I’m sure the first stubbed toe was conveyed with a dance to rival Alvin Ailey (as well as the very first swear words.)
