What is the time signature?

The time signature is a notation to specify how many beats( pulses)are contained in each measure(bar).


The top number in the time signature 4/4 indicated how many beats are in a bar which is 4 then the bottom number indicates that each beat is a quarter note.





Time signature 'Ex-wives'


In Ex-wives the time signature is 4/4 there are 4 beats/pulses in each measure(bar) however in 'Ex-wives there will be rests which indicate absence of sound .
 

The semi-breve or a whole note is worth 2 minims (½ notes), or 4 crotches (¼ notes). Whole note, whole bar. Then The Minim (half note) is worth 2 crotchets (¼ notes). It’s called a half note, and worth half a bar.

Ex-wives example:


Time signature 'Six'


Exactly the same as Ex-wives the time signature is 4/4 so 4 beats in each bar.

Like 'Ex-wives the  whole note is held for four beats, a half note (minim) is held for two

In the last 3 bars they use different types of rests for instance in the first bar there is 1  rest worth the full 4 in the bar which is a full note .in the second last bar there is a minim rest(2) and a crotchet rest(1)then the finale bar is the same as the second where it has a minim rest and a crotchet rest.

Example

Time signature 'No way'



Again 'No way' is the same as Ex-wives and 'Six' as they all have the same time signature 4/4, 4 beats in each measure.

When your feet are fully engaged, it further engages the muscles in your legs, providing greater stability and control. However this is not always the case as contemporary dance is not meant to be just pretty like ballet instead its meant to be different and just expressing yourself. Flexed Another position your feet will be is flexed, this is heavily contrasted with ballet because ballet is meant to be beautiful with perfect alignment where as for contemporary is heavily involved in feeling the music giving it an entire different look Parallel The last position is having your feet in parallel in other words neutral, this is mainly used for waiting for queues and your time to start dancing or to keep straight alignment so you can be technically accurate whilst dancing with perfect shape. Breath to initiate movement?  In this video you will see a women doing an improvisation o...
