The difference between DOING the move and DANCING the move.

Description

There's a big difference between doing the moves and DANCING the moves.

And it's not necessarily about doing anything more complicated.

Watch these two versions of the same combination. Same moves. Same music.
Can you spot what's changed?

Some of it is subtle. A little more breath. An extension that really follows through. The way one movement flows into the next. A moment of stillness that makes the next movement more interesting.

It's about contrast, dynamics, muscular intention, and actually having something to SAY with your dancing.

These are the things I love digging into as a dancer and a teacher. Because knowing which body part goes where is only the beginning.

I'm curious what YOU notice. Tell me below!
