Dance To put it in an easy way: Dance is moving with your body on the Music but of course it’s a lot more then you can suspect on the first side. *The style of music where you’re dancing on and the rhythmical structures will appoint for a big part how the dancing will look like. *Also an important part is our body, the way it is built and able to move. Everyone’s body is unique with other possibilities and limitations. *Every dancer will develop his/her own style in dancing, starting of with his own dance vocabulary in combination with his personal vision on dance.
Everybody once in a while is listening to music and is in most of the cases spontaneously moving on the Rhythm (dancing) Each one of us has a different interpretation of music because we all have an own rhythm inside our body; think of your heartbeat, rhythm of your steps, running… In the essence of the word ‘dance’ you do not need any music to be able to dance; touches with the floor, with other persons, from our own body, on different manners and with different body parts, results in all sorts of sounds. Also the voice can add some noises or sounds. Depending the order and speed of this all you get to a real rhythmical spectacle: making music with and by means of your own body. Analysis of a rhythm can help to make a better phrasing of the movements on the music inside a dancing piece or give accents on a certain place are just not. After a rhythmical analysis it’s very important to let those rhythms and phrasings into your body so you can forget about all the theoretical things and just feel the music through your dancing, if not the dance will always miss a natural flow and some movements even will look unnatural. Go with the flow; everybody can dance! Inside your own physical possibilities you can look for the most extreme and possible postures, forms and moving qualities of your own body: play with your body and allow the structure of your body, tall or small, bodyweight,… to help you how movements will look like, find new solutions and make out of your limitations a challenge to find new ways of moving and get in to new patrons, break through your own borders. This is the point where(dance)movements become interesting to watch! On this way everyone of us can find his own moving language, once you’ve found this it’s a matter of practicing and playing with it:
dare to add new things inside your style. If we would not do this you’ll notice that after a wile you get stuck into a same patron and start repeating some movements over and over without any different, your dynamic will get stuck and it gets boring to watch it. Even when a choreography is set and you have to perform it for more then 50 times it should be a challenge to do it every time again but finding new ways in your own body to bring it out. We are no robots but living beings who are moving through changes and changing through movements all the time. So we arrived to the point we can tell that dance means something very different and also feels very different for each one of us. This also means that each person looks in a different way to a dance piece, which does not make it an easy job for a choreographer to bring his visions, feelings and interpretations for a certain dance piece towards the audience unless he doesn’t care about it…First of all the choreographer has to bring all his emotions and specific movements for a certain dance piece over on his dancers, keeping in mind that their inner-rhythms are different from his and that’s the same for physical possibilities of their bodies. After a period of hard working his dancers will bring the dance piece alive and visible for an audience which has on his turn also a very own option about what dance is about. So you can also say that dance is an art form and opinions about it will always whenever and where ever be different! For some of us dance is just moving, for others it’s making music, for others it’s like poetry, an art form and for some of us it’s all at the same time; It’s a way of living!
