what do you mean by silly?

what I presented was the definition of gesture in terms of dance
composition, maybe I have mis-read my header which says DANCE - tech.

maybe those that can dance
and those that can't write a least 5000 words about it not including
bibliography and references.

You haven't really added anything to the post so please enlighten us
with a "more appropriate and not as limited " definition of a gesture.
maybe you can do it * using  simple low-tech words*.

Also I thought it was polite to identify yourself at the end of
correspondence .
