Improvisation as a Beginner
“Can I do a nice dance improvisation if I’m a beginner in belly dance?🤔”⠀
The answer is absolutely YES! And here is why👇👇👇⠀
Any dance improvisation consists of such elements as⠀
creativity⠀
technique⠀
musicality⠀
emotions⠀
As a beginner dancer you may not yet have strong technique or a big movement vocabulary. These two elements come with time and practice (☝️note: active practice).⠀
💁♀️But you still can hear the music. 💁♀️You still can feel emotions. 💁♀️You still can be creative even with limited movement vocabulary.⠀
So don’t let those doubts stop you! I actually think that working on improvisation skills should be mandatory from the very beginning. This way you won’t get stuck with paying attention only to the technique but will discover the essence of dance in much fuller and richer ways!🤗😘❤️
