This is a tricky question to answer, as East & West Dance could mean
a number of things. What dates, motivations of the features need to be clarified.

Eastern Dance has origins slightly different to that of Western Dance.
As dance progressed through culture in the East, the West was slow in some areas, so a shift in styles occurred, and has never really recovered.
In the East, China, being a superpower between 1000BC - 300AD made considerable styles and techniques highly evolved and sophsticated. These are now evident in Peking Opera and Japanese Styles of performance based work.
The West, being slower technically, made no real progression until around 1300AD and in particular in France,Italy and Russia. A correlation between industrial/cultural progression can be recognised between the two and their relationship with the features of their particular dance styles.
