Mathematics & Dance

Dance is mathematics! It is shapes in space, it is time, and it is energy.

Dance incorporates:

  • levels
  • dimension
  • direction & movement
  • measurement & geometry
  • angles
  • time
  • counts and numbers, and
  • energy

Dance is the physical interaction with space and how we use, determine, estimate and calculate the world around us.

When building dance mathematically, students create Moving Architecture , designing the space, creating formations and patterns, developing sequences, order and organisation, and learning to problem-solve with direction, levels, angles and dimensions by building equations, pictures and stories in space.
