Referring to question regarding dance as language, it is important to avoid any direct translation of one thing AS another thing. There may be similarities but they remain distinct. To the example of choreography and dance, isn't it the same as we can hear the same words in the same structure but from two different people or even from the same person twice or in different contexts? Also, there is content (the movement), there is structure (choreography, even in improvisation determined by the individual) and there is message (perhaps the most malleable since it can come from doer or perceiver).
