Dancing at Lughnasa

Discuss the significance of the dance sequence in dancing at lughnasa?

"The most extraordinary scene in the play, as anyone who has seen Lughnasa on stage can testify, is the spontaneous dance which erupts in Act One, as the five sisters join in a wild response to traditional Irish music on the radio." "The play's most vibrant moments - the wild dance in the first act - are moments of surrender by the sisters to the force of music, the urge of the dance, a force at once joyous and tyrannical, a dance of grief and liberation."

I think your quote pretty much covers your answer, "the urge of the dance, a force at once joyous and tyrannical, a dance of grief and liberation."
