Abstract: Why do crane pairs dance? We showed uncoordinated dances associated with high reproductive success. Dance duration increased as the breeding season approached. The results partially supported the hypothesis that pair dances contribute to a pair bond. This is the first study to assess the role of pair dances in these animals.
