What is a Dance Motif?
ANSWER A dance motif consists of three or four movements linked together smoothly to create a sequence that actually symbolises or communicates an idea or feeling. For example, you could create a motif to symbolise the movements of a cat or an emotion e.g. anger. One motif can be developed in many different ways so it is similar to the original e.g. changing the order of the movements in the motif or varying the speed of the movements etc.
