Types of textures

Dancers often imitate real-life objects with their movements as it can be seen in different types of textures:

• Floaty: Starting of a little faster and then going slow.
• Speed ramp: Going slow to fast.
• Stop motion: Performing a move with little stops.
• Honey: Going fast to slow but your body continues to hold tension like your moving through honey.
• Shaky: Like you're freezing and shivering.
• Sharp: Fast movement from initiation to dime stop.
• Soft: Flowing all the way through.
• Bouncy: Bouncing to add a groovy vibe.

Figuring out the intention behind a move can be extremely helpful, as intentions tie the moves together. So when learning a choreography, try to figure out the intention behind a move or the dance in general and try to match it.
