[edit] Main article
Shouldn't performance dance be the main article? In my opinion, concert dance sounds like dance styles that are only fit for large performances, often commercial in nature, while performance dance to me also includes smaller exhibitions and performances. The latter has more hits on Google as well. Wintran 12:34, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
- I only chose to do it this way around because that was what the merge tag suggested. Kcordina Talk 13:34, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

- Ah, I see. I'll see if I can find a discussion of this somewhere, or else I might move this to performance dance if no-one objects. It's good that you performed the merging in any case. Wintran 13:56, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge from Dance Theatre
A new editor has created a new article on titled Dance Theatre, the article is actually about performance or concert dance rather than the contemporary dance related "dance theatre", after material is merged the other article should redirect, either to a new dance theatre article or as currently to "contemporary dance".

- (copied from User talk:Paul foord Concert dance rather than "Dance Theatre": The attempt was to channelize dance broadly into dance theatre & dancesport. Since ballroom, latin american, club dance (salsa, jive, etc.). are social recreational dances and also competitive, professional dances performed at different championships as dancesport items and ballet (classical, jazz, modern, contemporary), traditional indian (temple ie. kathak, bharatanatyam, odissi, manipuri, kuchipdi & kathakali) dances, persian classical dances are primarily for an audience in the theatre (both amateur & professional), I think that it is the first broad division subject to many other divisions. The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, London shares this view. [1] Though it is not the authority on the subject it does make the study of the subject a little more concise & simple.
- I am of the view that the term Dance Theatre is akin to Concert Dance except for the fact that Ballroom Dance (listed as a Concert Dance) is a social/participative dance and is a recognised competitive dancesport than a performance/concert dance.

- Also note that there is another article with a very similar title: Dance theater. There is also a redirect page called Dance theatre that redirects to Contemporary dance, and Tanztheater that redirects to Dance theater. I started looking at these because SuggestBot suggested I might like to merge Dance Theatre and Concert dance -- I might, but I don't think that's the worst of the issues here!

Looking at the clearest link at Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing http://www.istd.org/dancestyles/moderntheatre/jazz/intro.html the point is not clear. Dance theatre is commonly used by many contemporary dance companies in their name. This would seem to give precedence to contemporary dance in use of the term. Paul foord 08:55, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] dance theatre
Here in NY (which is not the entire world of dance, but not so small either) this term is used exclusively as the redoubtable Paul foord writes, not least by Dance Theater Workshop. — Robert Greer (talk) 02:11, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
