Dance is a performing art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement. This movement has aesthetic and symbolic value, and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observers within a particular culture. Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography, by its repertoire of movements, or by its historical period or place of origin.
An important distinction is to be drawn between the contexts of theatrical and participatory dance, although these two categories are not always completely separate; both may have special functions, whether social, ceremonial, competitive, erotic, martial, or sacred/liturgical. Other forms of human movement are sometimes said to have a dance-like quality, including martial arts, gymnastics, cheerleading, figure skating, synchronised swimming, marching bands, and many other forms of athletics

Slave dance
Slave dances feature in BDSM fiction and forms a significant part of the Gor sub culture and books. Dances are performed by submissives (invariably female) for the enjoyment of their masters and have a strong D/S element to them. An investigation of the Informed consent archives have brought up very few discussions on slave dances which would suggest that it is not an activity that is performed in the wider BDSM community.
Needless to say, dance also features in many fetish clubs both as an activity and an entertainment, however, in this context it is no different to dancing in a vanilla club.
Two of the most well-known pleasure dances are the "belly dance" and the "pole dance". Neither has a strict set of moves or sequences but each has its own focus which an experienced viewer might expect to see. Most pleasure dances are even less formal. Often, the dancer creates his or her own dance to enhance his or her own body while incorporating what he or she is capable of and missing out on what he or she has yet to learn.
