Dance is a language that bears some similarities to verbal language.
For example, both have vocabulary (locomotion and gestures in dance) and grammar (rules for different dance traditions in putting the vocabulary together and justifying how one movement can follow another).
And both languages have semantics (meaning)..
These are known as the seven movements in dancing.
These are plier (to bend), etendre (to stretch), relever (to rise), sauter (to jump), tourner (to turn), glisser (to glide), and elancer (to dart)..
