Choreography often highlights the speed, agility, and muscular strength of dancers. Some people categorize a dance of this nature as being "athletic," but what does this mean? And how do we describe the aesthetics of athleticism being portrayed? Both athletes and performing artists can evoke the same intensity in movement, but are coached from language specific to their discipline. This paper explores the historical formation of the growing trend of athletic dance and the quantitative vs. qualitative measures that result in the aesthetic outcome.
