Meaning

Dance <1,,3738, orcheo>

(cp. Eng., "orchestra") probably originally signified "to lift up," as of the feet; hence, "to leap with regularity of motion." It is always used in the Middle Voice, Mat 11:17, Mat 14:6, Mar 6:22, Luk 7:32. The performance by the daughter of Herodias is the only clear instance of artistic dancing, a form introduced from Greek customs.
