VIDEO (PART3): LESSON 5: SIMULTANEOUS CANON USING A MOTIF

Simultaneous Canon using the original motif.
A simultaneous Canon involves dancers doing the same motif at the same time but starting from different points in the phrase. So Dancer 1 may do counts 1 to 8; Dancer 2 may start at count 6, dancing 6-7-8-1-2-3-4-5, and another dancer may start at 4, dancing 4-5-6-7-8-1-2-3; and so on. This creates a dense, logical and interesting look.
