Dancing act's as a means of escaping social boundaries and also a way of self-expression. It is only through dancing that the Mundy sisters feel satisfaction and take pleasure in their lives.
Music and dance within the play also provokes memories such as Maggie reminiscing "us off to a dance Ardstraw" .
Chris and Gerry dancing together is also seen as a way of talking without words and ceremonial.

∙ 14y agoDancing is a big theme in the play. it shows the sisters desire to break free of themselves. to have fun and not be bound by responsibilities. we see this at the main dance scene in the kitchen. Maggie begins dancing and kate is the last to dance as she has the biggest responsibility within the household being the 'mother' of the house and also the only wage earner.
We also see the song 'Anything Goes' that gerry sings and dances to shows his character. in his world anything goes, he is free to do what he wants nothing is stopping him.

What answer should you write for the theme of love in dancing at lughnasa and billy Elliot?
im not sure about billy Elliot, i have only seen the movie. but for dancing at lughnasa... the sisters have a love for music. we see this when the wireless comes into the house (as Michael talks about in his monologue). it brings them a connection to the outside world. this is a key theme as they are shunned by the community after fathers jacks return from Uganda and Michael being a lovechild. music also helps them escape. we see this wen they are all in the kitchen going about their normal duties. when the wireless turns on and they all slowly begin dancing. the music helps them escape from their responsibilities. friel chooses the songs given to the characters to show their personality. for instance, gerry is given the songs 'anything goes' as in his world anything goes he can do what he wants, he is not bound by time or any other factor.
