Dance for cello and orchestra (stylized as DANCE) is a cello concerto written by the British composer Anna Clyne. The work was composed in 2019 on a commission from the Israeli cellist Inbal Segev.
Dance has a duration of roughly 25 minutes and is cast in five movements. The piece is named for a five-line poem by the 13th-century poet Rumi; each of the five movements is thus named for a line from the poem:
I. "when you're broken open"
II. "if you've torn the bandage off"
III. "in the middle of the fighting"
IV. "in your blood"
V. "when you're perfectly free"
