To me it seems like the song is asking what is the difference between a human and something that is cold, and almost robotic. (This is absolutely not a slight against dancers, personally I think dance is a beautiful art form) but when I've danced (and I'm certainly not a dancer) the movements are choreographed, it is a large group of people all doing the same thing at the same time, and it doesn't mean anything.
So what makes Dance beautiful?
The first time I heard this song I thought of the "Dancers" as free spirits, but the more i listened to it, it seemed that they were comparing dancers to robots. We've all seen dancers that do the movements with perfect technique... but they have something missing, something off. They lack emotion and passion, something that skill can't make up for. Dancers who dance without emotion.... are just dancers, not humans, but automatons or robots. In order to turn dance into an art form, you have to put the human part of you first, let your emotions come into your work, feel something, feel purpose, feel passion. That is what makes dance beautiful, that is what makes any form of art beautiful.
