As music is an organization of time, so is the dance an arrangement in time, which employs temporal rhythm. The dancer interprets the distance between notes, he deciphers their relations and translates them into spatial movement. He creates a mapping between time and space, he transforms a musical geometry into a spatial geometry. Movement and music, however, are continuous manifestations. Bodies don't just disappear from one place to suddenly pop up elsewhere.
Space has no gaps.
Similarly, music is not a series of isolated, instantaneous sounds. It is a spectrum. Our palpable sense of continuity emanates from the relations between places and events. As the dancer hears between notes, he dances between steps to model continuity from discontinuity. The dancer is a designer, a sculptor of action.
