Synchronization

In dance it is important to keep in step and in time with the other dancers. In a group number all the dancers have to look like the are dancing as one. There are portions of a dance, though, that the dancers break off and do different things. But for the most part, dances are done together. For the sake of entertainment dancers break off so that the number remains interesting. If all the dancers do is everything the same and together it becomes uninteresting. Therefor, solo parts are incorporated and dancers do different things at the same time so the audience has more to watch.  Keeping together in those times that are together can be very complicated. In my experience there have been dances that have many different ages and levels of dance. in those instances having a synchronized group portion in more difficult because not everyone has the same skill level and not everyone can do the same moves. Sometimes dances have been divided into two parts that are similar and done together for the differnent levels. this way it looks like everyone is doing the same thing but there is a different in the movement. Synchronization in dance is very important otherwise the dance looks sloppy and messy this goes along with technique and quality of performance.
