What Defines Dance •Movement: Dance involves a deliberate sequence of steps, gestures, and body positions that tell a story or express a feeling. • Rhythm: The pulse or beat that guides the movement. It can be created by music, percussion, or even the dancer's own body. • Space: Dancers interact with the space around them, creating patterns and shapes with their movement. • Time: The timing of movements is crucial, and it's often dictated by the rhythm of the music or the dancer's own internal sense of timing. • Energy: Dance can be powerful and explosive, or gentle and flowing.

Think of the elegant steps in ballet, the energetic steps in jazz, or the powerful steps in hip-hop. Each style has its own unique vocabulary of steps. • Gestures: Gestures are more than just hand movements; they encompass facial expressions, head tilts, and even subtle changes in posture.

They can be simple pirouettes or complex fouettés, and they often require balance, coordination, and a strong core. • Leaps: Leaps are jumps that propel the dancer through the air. They can be graceful, powerful, or even acrobatic, and they require strength, flexibility, and control.

It's the art of creating a smooth and elegant transition between movements.
