This article tries to rethink the body and its movement through the art of dance. Responding to the need of thinking of a body without the limits imposed by form, dance appears as a phenomenon that stands in the way of considering existence to be determined by function and biological operativity. The body that dances does not display its limits. It exposes its possibility of becoming against every organization and order that forces it towards a stable state. The argument of the article begins defining dance’s peculiarity as it is described by Valéry. It then elaborates on the concept of dancing body using Deleuze’s lecture on Nietzsche. In this analysis we sustain that the dancing body is a possibility for an active becoming of forces, a body that changes in every instant. This leads to a new consideration of the body. It unveils itself as creation and multiplicity, no longer pure anatomy, devoured by the forces that give it existence. This finally provides new perspectives from which to consider different forms of existence and to reconstruct the concept of subject.
