Abstract
This paper describes an experimental computer program that applies the techniques of artificial intelligence to the creation of dance. Speci fically, a user expresses a set of dance rules (in a special English-l ike ''rule language'') which describes some of the dynamic aspects of a dance. These rules are applied nondeterministically by a ''rule driv er'' program. The rules themselves are similar to those that form the knowledge base of expert systems. The rule driver embodies a heuristic algorithm of the type found in many artificial intelligence programs.
