Performance quality applied to the Dance

Performance quality and the individual

The dancer who exhibits performance quality is valued for their artistry.
They are valued by the choreographer for their ability to interpret and skilfully communicate ideas in a given movement vocabulary. They are valued by their audience for their ability to suspend disbelief and communicate an idea or emotion.

The performance quality of the individual is dependent on a number of factors:
The trained body.
The dancer’s understanding and interpretation of the dance.
The dancer’s commitment to achieving the choreographic intent of the dance.
The dancer’s relationship with the audience.
