Intro to Music & Musicality for DANCERS 

Thank you so much for the support!

Hey Mariana! There are so many fantastic dances with music in 3/4 and 6/8 (and others - even folk dances in meters like 11/16). I kept this first video to the very common 4/4 so the introduction to these concepts was easier to understand. I have another video planned for other time signatures, so if there's anything you want me to explain, let me know!

@@conmusica That sounds great! A lot of Ballet music is in 3/4, so I would love to see a video explaining how to count in that time signature so I'm able to apply that to a choreography. Thank you, your video explains a lot.

@@marianazertuche441 Thankyou, I'm glad it helped you! I'll definitely make a note to add that into a video for you. Most basically, Ballet counting can vary with style (eg mazurka vs waltz), but there is a *basic* 3 count for anything in 3/4. The most common that I've heard are 123, and 1&a (easier to say, best for quicker tempos). Often then you count in groups of 4 or 8 bars, and that '1' changes with each bar. For instance: 1 & a, 2 & a, 3 & a, 4 & a, (5 & a, 6 & a, 7 & a, 8 & a) or 1 2 3, 2 2 3, 3 2 3, 4 2 3, (5 2 3, 6 2 3 , 7 2 3, 8 2 3) There's so much more to add, but that's the foundation!

​@@conmusica Thank you for explaining this. Can't wait to see the video.
