The main thing is that narrative dance tells a story but abstract doesn't. Then there are other things like in abstract, the lighting reflects the mood of the scene, e.g. red for anger. However, in narrative dance the lighting is to do with the location and the time of day.
Choreographic structure is the building of dance phrases into longer sequences and formed into sections. These can then be used in different orders for example: section A followed by section B, followed by section A or in 'Rondo' keeping one section as a theme throughout the piece interspersed with different sections for example: ABACADA
They can be considered narrative poems.
Beowulf is considered a narrative poem :)
It should be, its a ceremonial war dance. Actually, haka literally means dance and haka can express a wide range of themes and emotions: challenge, amusement, welcome, celebration, defiance, contempt, protest, historical narrative and aggression. 'Ka Mate', the haka performed by the All Blacks, tells the story of Te Rauparaha's escape from pursuing enemies and does not actually contain aggressive sentiment.
