Here's an example of dance description that I stumbled upon recently that enhanced my experience as a sighted person:
Amy Amantea
This is a lovely piece! Notice the tone of voice that describer uses right off the bat to help set the scene. This tone of voice changes throughout and as a movement is faster her tone speeds up and vice versa. The use of language is articulate and rich.
And one of my favourite things of all is when costumes are described with a purpose, not simply like a list of grocery items, but phrased so that I get bits and pieces throughout the performance.
Just the way this blind girl likes to listen to dance!

Amy, I totally concur! Although I am not blind, and have no experience to equal yours, I LOVED how the describer's voice shifted from character to character, investing the dancers' moves with even more colour and personality, kind of like the way a piece of music gives us so much information and mood with the use of different pitch and tone, intensity and speed.

so effective, right?!
