The Test of Sudden Silence: Dancing in the Now of the Music
Imagine a few scenarios that are not uncommon in the dance world: The instructor stops your practice session mid-song. The DJ’s equipment malfunctions, causing a sudden stop in the music. A song finishes at a place you weren’t expecting.
In each of these scenarios, how long does it take you to respond with your movement?
If the time lapse between the music stopping and you responding is so immediate that you can’t really quantify it, then you are connected to the music in a way that all dancers should aim for. If you are not in this category, it is definitely something you should think about. How can you connect with the music more so your body naturally stops its movement when the music is no longer breathing life into it?
