Comparative Study of Senses in Dance Cultures: Exploring Touch, Hearing, and Sight Roles

This paper delves into the roles of touch, hearing, and sight in three distinctive dance cultures: ballet, contact improvisation, and traditional Ghanaian dance. It aims to analyze the significance of the body, audience, music, and gender in these dance forms, highlighting the unique essence each sense holds in shaping the performance. Through examining the interplay between kinesthetic experiences, audience engagement, musical influences, and gender representation, a deeper understanding of the perceptual intricacies within these dance genres is elucidated.
