This article presents information regarding the role of dance in motion picture. Concert dance, in fact, needs to find a way back into the heart of the public, and film and television can go a long way toward dispelling its image as an obscure and elite art. A live performance shouldn't need explanation, but most filmed dance benefits from it-nothing didactic but visual and dramatic material that colors the proceedings. Technology has done a great deal to improve the quality of filmed dance. Cameras and lights become more sophisticated every clay. Still, dance is one of the most complex subjects to film.
