Dance moves or dance steps More complex dance moves are called dance patterns, dance figures, dance movements, or dance variations. They are usually isolated, defined, and organized so that beginning dancers can learn and use them independently of each other. Dance moves tend to emphasize the concepts of lead and follow and connection. In most cases dance moves by themselves are independent of musicality, which is the appropriateness of a move to the music (for a notable exception, see Bharatanatyam). Generally, they are memorized in sets of eight counts. Also there are two different movements which is concreate and abstract movement. These two movement shows time, space, relationship, quality and focus. If I give you an example relationship could be movement of two different dancers or more. The names of moves may be somewhat arbitrary and vary from person to person and city to city. For example, in Lindy Hop, circles are also called "rhythm circles" and "reverses".

Dance moves may blur into each other. For example, the Lindy Hop move swing out from close can also be thought of as a groucho to open.

Each dance emphasizes its own moves, but often moves are shared by several dances.
