Dimension:  Entertainment or engagement?

Often dance is a form of entertainment. You go to a performance to be entertained. Or youdance yourself for your own pleasure.

Sometimes choreographers want to raise an important social issue, which we call engagement.

Dance can be narrative, but can also be just about movements and shape, without the need to tell a story or share a message with the audience. Sometimes it is a combinationof these.

Dance can also have a supporting function, for example in musical, opera or dance in a video clip for a song.

Others say that dance programmes on TV can really show dance as an art form or can even show engagement. What do you think?
