Music Interpretation Using Body Movement

The interpretation of music using specific body movements. This will allow a salsa dancer to dance using moves or body movements in accordance to the music that is being played. Both the ladies and the guys will be able to enjoy the salsa rhythm and music in a more physical way and feel the underlying tones of each beat.

Ever wondered what to do when you hear the clave beat or when the timbales start beating fast and the trumpet swoons in the background? Ever wondered what to do when the music moves in different notes? How should one move together with the music?

This workshop will cover a simpler and practical way to using the body movement and will be a shortcut to looking good while doing music interpretation. For a more comprehensive and advanced understanding of musicality, please wait for future workshops in musicality from Rhythm Identity.

Proposed Date:-           3 Nov 2007, Saturday
