Musicality, at its core, is about expressing the emotion and character of music through dance. It goes beyond just matching steps to the beat—it's about embodying the music's spirit.
As beginners, the first step is understanding rhythm and timing. Think of the music as a heart, with its beat as the pulse. Your movements are expressions of this pulse, helping you to connect with the music on a deeper level. The rhythm sets the pace and guides your motion.
Try to not only hear the beat, but also feel it in your heart. Timing, on the other hand, lets you align your dance steps with the rhythm, creating a harmonious dance. As you dance, allow the rhythm and timing to guide you in expressing the underlying emotions in the music.
The more you connect with the music's rhythm and timing, the more emotionally expressive your dance will be.
