How Do I Know When I Am Dancing?

How do I know when I am dancing? How do I shift from a non-dancing to a dancing state? Is there a continuum, in my lived experience, between the movements that I do when I vacuum-clean my apartment and those that I do when I dance at a party? When and where does my dance begin? These are the phenomenological questions this chapter discusses, proposing that the reader enter the perceptive world of the dancer, and asking what those dancing experiences can bring to our understanding of movement. Meditating on the middle voice in Greek, this chapter proposes that dance offers a unique context to rethink our understanding of agentivity.
