Static arts like painting sculpture and architecture have the advantage of permanence over time. Performing arts like dance, music and theater have the advantage of being able to use time itself as an element of the art. They can also incorporate the other forms of art into their productions to create multi-sensory experiences. Any art is about the proper balance of its elements. Defining 'proper balance' is what gives rise to endless variations on artistic movements and trends. Dance uses color, texture, visual composition, complementary and opposing movements, stillness and coordination with music to bring about its own balanced whole. If all language is metaphor, then art is metaphor raised to a new level. All of the elements of dance, when balanced in a coherent way, stand as a work of art without the need to be interpreted to death if viewed from a 'classic' point of view. On the other hand, the balanced elements may evoke, sometimes but not always by design, a certain kind of thought, feeling or atmosphere. This would be more a 'romantic' view. The best art engages both the mind (classic) and the heart (romantic), and this might be the most difficult balance of all for any art to achieve.
