MUSIC / DANCE/ TIME SIGNATURE

MUSIC

- art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms
through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color. The tones or
sounds employed, occurring in single line (melody) or multiple lines (harmony),
and sounded or to be sounded by one or more voices or instruments, or both.
Music has that ability to make us feel a certain way, which is why it plays such
an immense role in dance. 

DANCE

- the movement of the body in a rhythmic way, usually to music and within a
given space, for the purpose of expressing an idea or emotion, releasing energy,
or simply taking delight in the movement itself.

TIME SIGNATURE

In music, a time signature tells you the meter of the piece you’re playing.

The two numbers in the time signature tell you how many beats are in each
measure of music. A piece with a time signature of 4/4 has four quarter note
beats; each measure with a 3/4 meter has three quarter note beats; and each
measure of 2/4 time has two quarter note beats.

Different styles of music create various types of beats, which all correspond to a

specific dance style.

A beat value is the time it takes for each note to be played; in dance we use that
to give our dancing numbered timings.

1. For every single count the timing is: 1 beat (beat 2, 3 & 1)

2. For every split single count or & count the timing is: 1/2 beat (4 &)
