I have conducted and presented a study in the past (Motivation for increased self-selected exercise intensity following psychological distress: laboratory-based evidence for catharsis?), but now I am interested in dance addiction, after learning about addiction to Argentinian Tango.
I don't like the proliferation of "addictions" that respond to media denominations, not to empirical based findings. I suggest our passion point of view about dancing.

Many thanks! Passion may become an escape (sometimes:-)). - Then "Addiction" (dependence + compulsion) may act as coping mechanism (escape) from painful "reality". More time spent in the world of passion less time is to be spent with one or more unpleasant life features? I feel - and some others too - that addiction is an escape behavior through over- indulgence in something otherwise good (passion?) that does not hurt in moderation (i.e. red wine, exercise, shopping, video-game 1hr / week? ... all are fine in moderation), but when the behavior takes control over the person... the story changes.
