dance improvisation
Unplanned bodily expression
Dance improvisation is spontaneous movement created in the moment rather than from choreography.
The dancer responds to music, space, other performers, or internal impulse without predetermined steps: The class began with ten minutes of free improvisation.
It functions both as performance form and training method, developing responsiveness and expanding movement vocabulary.
Contact improvisation involves two or more dancers moving in physical dialogue, sharing weight and momentum.
