The dance metaphor is interesting, this is how I would interpret it.
Broadly, there are two main types of dances - the choreographed and the improvised.
One thing common for a majority of dance forms is music. Contact or botoh are examples of dance forms without music.
Setting aside the choreographed and the music-less, leaves the improvised.
The improvised would either be in sync with the music or not.
Music in this metaphor would be the signal that the dancers movements would be influenced by - either in time with, contra to or syncopated with the dominant beat.
Dancers have a finite vocabulary to express their interpretation of music. This kinesthetic and visual vocabulary is coupled to dance forms. These dance forms are supported by their respective cultures.
Dancing salsa at a Milonga is appreciated differently than break dancers forming a circle at a hip hop club. Blues house parties go off differently than an ecstatic dance one. An outdoor festival promotes a different feeling than an underground warehouse one off.
Each culture supports their particular view on beauty and how the witnessing or participation of that beauty makes them feel.
There is simply the volume of music but music has many more qualities that can be discerned.
Rthythm, melody, tempo, pitch, tuning, scale, etc. all are qualities that can be modeled to music. In this metaphor they can be coupled to transaction volume.
Dancers dance to music. In a live setting, quality musicians respond to dancers. The feedback loop between musicians and dancers in live participatory events transcends anything that can be choreographed.
The connection between music and dancers varies across the forms. Some forms promote a very intimate connection between dancers, the dancers to music and the music to dancers. Other forms are more loosely coupled.
Price cases would be the dance moves specific to a form. The dancers themselves are the participants choosing how to move their body in relation to the music.
All this talk about dancing makes me want to dance more!
