The silhouette of the dancer is actually an empty void cut out of the door. There are thousands of images of dancers pasted to the surface of the door.
Here is an excerpt from The Dead Emcee Scrolls by Saul Williams that says it better than I ever could:

When you say you love me a series of changes
begin to occur. First there is warmth. The warmth
generates heat. The heat permeates the cold. The ice
melts. Limbs and branches are thawed. Blood
circulates. A feeling of comfort pervades.

The body is oxygenated. It becomes limber. It yearns
to dance, to move about freely and express it’s newfound
energy. Music is sought through voice or ear. The heart
identifies the rhythm of the song and synchronizes its
pace. A union is formed between the visible and the
invisible.

Song is the invitation from the primordial unseen to
become one with that which is seen. To nod your head
is to agree that the moment is godly: communion. To
dance is to become God. There are many ways of dancing.
Follow your heart.
