show dance Explanation: "Show dance" can be almost any kind of dance that is performed on a scene instead of used on dance evenings/parties. "Show dance" is also a discipline in the competitions arranged by IDO (International Dance Organization). As you see from the references, the meaning is the same in English and Danish. Ref 1: "Show dance er dans med inspiration fra teatres og filmens verden, dvs. musicals, cabarets – hele showbranchen. Målet med disse timer er at give eleverne de redskaber, der skal til for at stå på scenen som danser – teknik og udstråling. Vi danser til forskellige former for musik, meget musical musik." Ref 2: (IDO rules) "All Show Dance presentations shall be based on a concept, story, theme or idea, which must be described in a short description on the official application enrollment form. The concept, story, theme or idea must be fully understandable and will be expressed by means of dance movements that adhere to the piece being presented, along with being creative, imaginative and original. The piece must have Show Value, as explained in the Show Dance rules and be entertaining to both the audience and adjudicators. (...) Rock ’N’ Roll is excluded, but competitors may incorporate all other existing styles of dance or dance techniques. These include:, Jazz, , Ethnic, Folk and Character. They may be performed in pure form or as a combination of two or more different styles, and may include theatrical movements."
