char•ac•ter dance |ˈkariktər dans|
noun
A form of theatrical dance which has its roots in the national dances of various countries. For those studying to become ballet dancers, it is very important that they learn character dance, for without it their performance of such essential works of the ballet repertoire as Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, LaBayadere, Scheherazade, Ramonda, Don Quixote and many others becomes marred and inadequate, if not impossible.
