AB  - The study presents a philosophical analysis of the phenomenon of dance, the possibility to consider
the ontology of dance as it is defined by its epistemological significance. The anthropological components of
dance become the ontological attributes of its being. Exploring the spatio-temporal aspect of dance it is possible
to conditionally define its specific attributes that identify the immanent and the transcendent beginning of the
dance. The study examines the gnoseological meaning of dancing through the category "prolepsis" which is
associated in ancient philosophy with acquiring "premised knowledge". The comparison of play and dance in
the context of ontology indicates that dance creates a certain mood and approaches the state of its cognizer.
The ontology of dance has deep anthropological base and relates to the problem of representation of a person
in space.
