Dance
Dance is a performing art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement. This movement has aesthetic and symbolic value, and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observers within a particular culture. Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography, by its repertoire of movements, or by its historical period or place of origin.
Drama
Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance: a play performed in a theatre, or on radio or television. Considered as a genre of poetry in general, the dramatic mode has been contrasted with the epic and the lyrical modes ever since Aristotle's Poetics (c. 335 BC)—the earliest work of dramatic theory.

Come, knit hands, and beat the ground
In a light fantastic round.
John Milton, Comus (1637), line 143.

But O, she dances such a way!
No sun upon an Easter-day,
Is half so fine a sight.
Sir John Suckling, A Ballad Upon a Wedding, Stanza 8.

This dance of death which sounds so musically
Was sure intended for the corpse de ballet.
Anonymous, On the Danse Macabre of Saint-Saëns.
