Abstract
Being on of the youngest field of human endeavours, software development absorbed features of other, older fields, especially engineering, mathematics, and economics. However, being software the product of the creation and being based on a systematic discipline and technical excellence of the participants (the developers), there could be also very interesting interconnections with artistic disciplines. In this paper, we concentrate on the similarities with dance. Dance has a long tradition of instructions and development. The goal of this work is to find interesting points of contact is to identify dancesport methods that could provide the basis for new approaches or practices for software development.
