So after an insanely busy past couple of weeks, it's back to the blog.
I think last time I had just finished discussing how the quality and dynamics of dancing is very important. Now I am going to talk about how technique is also very important.
Technique in dancing is the skill that one has when one is trained so precisely in their form of dance. In ballet, the technique is all about the entire body: having correct placement, nice lines, impressive feet, etc. In jazz the technique is about the trick ability: having high kicks, being able to do mulitple piroettes, being able to execute high leaps, etc.
It takes years to develope good technique in dance no matter what the style.
here's a video that shows the dancers' ability to look stunning on stage and also dance together so precisely. we're actually working on this piece in my pointe class, and it's not as easy as it looks....
