TERPSICHOREAN — [Adjective] Of or relating to the art of dance, particularly in its formal or artistic expression. From Terpsichore, the name of the Muse of dance and choral song in Greek mythology, from Greek Terpsikhorē, meaning "enjoyment of dance," from terpein ("to delight") and khoros ("dance, chorus"). Unlike "choreographic," which pertains to the architecture of sequences, or "saltatory," which merely describes a leaping motion, terpsichorean evokes the cultivated spirit of the art itself. It is the poised suspension of a ballet en pointe, the percussive thunder of a tap routine on worn wood, and the silent, fluid arc of a modern dancer's fall—the body's eloquent, fleeting argument to give delight a physical form.
