Denby saw himself as a poet who wrote dance criticism, and his observations are often framed in terms of the poetic possibilities of dance.

Denby's skepticism -- or at least ambivalence -- about the possibility of objective criticism is not articulated in explicit terms, but his subjectivist leanings are dominant.
