I try to move to music, but I have no great experience of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The problem could be that you don’t wait for the music to get you moving. In most treatises on dance it is commonly stated that dance is a movement to music. However, this definition of dance is not entirely accurate. A dance movement comes in reaction of our nervous system to music, ie. any movement is provoked consequently. Just as the sound of a musical instrument arises as a result of the player’s action, so the dancer’s movement is a reaction to this sound stimulus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The order is thus briefly as follows – the composer, music notation, the conductor, the performer and his actions, the sound created this way, the capturing of the sound by the senses, the processing by the nervous system, and a subsequent possible movement reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If this basic natural dance principle is not captured or understood, there is no profound mental experience, as there is nothing to provoke it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
