Question:

What is ment by the term focus in dance?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: To most dancers, focus has to do with where you are looking and/or how you are connecting to the audience. This is usually described as "internal" or "external."

So a dancer might ask a choreographer, "Where is my focus?" Which means, "Where should I look?"

Or a dancer might ask, "Is my focus internal here?" Which means, "Am I being self-reflexive and focused on myself at this point in the dance?

Or a choreographer might say, "Your focus should be external." Which means, "Project outward, dance big, and try and reach the audience"
