Moondance
Celestial nighttime movement
Moondance is dancing under moonlight, often with romantic or mystical connotations.
The word evokes nighttime revelry, fairy-tale imagery, or intimate moments: We shared a moondance on the beach.
Van Morrison's 1970 song popularized the term, lending it associations with jazz-inflected romance and late-night magic.
