dance show

Staged movement spectacle

A dance show is a performance or production featuring choreographed dancing as its primary entertainment.

The term covers everything from ballet recitals to televised competitions like Dancing with the Stars.

Dance shows may showcase professional companies, students, or amateur contestants: My daughter has her dance show this weekend.
