Of course whatever we wonder about, somebody else has already tried.
Eventually dancers will want to use fans for maneuvering, especially for non-solo routines. This looks fun (aside from the racket), but not a lot like dance.

The music-video for the Band OK GO's song "upside down inside out" was filmed in 0 G. In spite of it's being commercial popular music, I think it might be a better exemplar of the concept of dance in 0 G.

Science fiction writer Spider Robinson and his wife Jeanne explored this topic in their 1977 novella Stardance (later expanded to a novel). Jeanne was herself a dancer and choreographer and it probably was her influence that described dance as the "only universal language." If I remember correctly much of the story dealt with the problem of communicating with space-borne aliens. It turned out that the only way to do so was with dance . . . in zero-G.
