Jigsaw Puzzle
You’ve
probably seen those finished jigsaw puzzles that have been mounted on a board
and displayed as art. The individual pieces are always apparent, and perhaps that is what
makes it interesting.
It doesn’t
work that way in dance. When a series of steps, or piece of choreography is
first learned, the lines between the jigsaw of steps is evident. It is only
through rehearsal and repetition that these lines are erased, and one step
melds seamlessly with its neighbor. That’s the goal, anyway.
So think of
merging each step into the next – no hesitation, no change in dynamics, etc. It
is challenging but worth it!
No jigsaw
lines!
