Peter Townsend Music is the silence between the notes.. So could it be said that dance is the stillness between the steps?
Claude Debussy
David Alford attn peter: i like this one. indeed. the silence around the notes, and above and below them, and behind them…..and i believe you are so right about the dancing being what happens between the steps. difficult to get newer dancers to really understand this. they think if they are not learning a new “step” they aren’t “really” learning anything…
David Alford: ”the essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure”

Massimo Giorgianni:
-If you are truly trained, you move in a way that convinces.
-We look musical,when we find the musicality in our movement.
-The music is beauty for the ears, movement is beauty for the eyes.
-Progress in dancing is found in the courage to dare, in the courage to express what is dictated from inside.
-The WHY of movement, makes the HOW more significant.
