Some people are good dancers and some are great warriors. In Kung Fu, we know about the Dragon Style of Hong Kong and the Southern Dragon Style, where the movements of a dragon are used for martial arts. There are characters in the stories we write, who are great at practicing diplomacy but not great in warfare. At the same time, some characters can balance the dance with overcoming barriers and villains.
Would dragons actually dance and do animals dance or do they only appear to dance when courting? I would think that when animals battle it may look like a dance to us, but it may be a battle in progress.
In life we find that there are occasions when we need to go with the flow or dance. When circumstances change, we need to face our challenges and fears in order to overcome them. This is what we do when we create characters in stories. We make our characters have flaws, that they need to overcome to face their demons.
