They wouldn't dance well there isn't any evidence that the Greeks had their chorus dance. If you have music and need a dance have the dance mach the music, or have it based on some traditional Greek dance. Sophocles would have had his chorus recite their lines in union however in contemporary productions it is often divided into separate lines, partly because our audiences are not accustomed to this theatrical device and this can be a distraction.
