Unlikely; I tend to view the difference between a compound word and a
noun-noun construction to be very small, if present at all.  Space or no,
"bodymusic" is not really specific to "dance".

>Something with <bommo'> perhaps?

Maybe.  more likely QoQmo'.  Still, the best you can do is something that
*describes* dance, not a *translation* for it.
