In this episode of Dance-GEMS: can we look at dance without any judgment, and if so, is that a good or a bad thing? Can art and, in this case, dance be judged? Judgment often happens using absolute words like good, bad, beautiful, and ugly. In competitive dance forms, we have professional judges, but in theater forms of dance, the audience is often a judge, or a professional critic is ‘judging’ a performance. The question is based upon what they and what we judge, and is that good or bad? … to use some absolutes ourselves.

In this episode of Dance GEMS, we explore the connection between language and dance and how language influences our understanding and experience of this art form. By examining the intricate relationship between words and dance, we gain a deeper appreciation for the power of language in conveying the emotions, nuances, and messages within dance performances. Join us as we delve into the vibrant world where words and dance come together and discover how language can enhance our understanding and enjoyment of dance.
