CENTERS OF THE DANCE

‘Centers of the dance’ is a returning topic in my dancing and teaching.
When I dance, look at or consider dance, I may recognise various centers: the center of gravity of the body, or that of parts of the body, the center of the planet, the center between partners, the center of the stage or room, the center of a composition, the focal center… Some of these centers may only live in my perception or imagination.
Today however I woud like to eventually focus on centers that we share, and consider axial, radial and tangential directions and relations to that. Curious what this will bring? I am too!
