Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'concert' (a public performance) + 'dance' (choreographed movement) yields a dance performed as a staged or public performance. This noun+noun compounding follows common compositional patterns and is therefore readily inferable by a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The noun concert dance comes from the words concert (a public music show) and dance. Imagine trained dancers moving on a theater stage to music in a planned performance. That's why it means 'dance' made to be seen by an audience as art.
