Mapping Your Music - A Lecture for Dancers with Rosa Noreen

Do you ever get lost in a new song — but not in a good way?

Learn my approach to getting to know your music, through and through. 

In this lecture, we’ll build a live song map using my unique framework.

As dancers, we are another instrument in the band—the visual representation of the music. In order to embody that role, we need to understand the layers, the structure, the repetitions and the instrumentation of our music.

This method of song mapping can be implemented with music of all styles, equally valuable whether you’re preparing for choreography or improvisation. You don’t need any formal musical education to implement this method — just your love of a song.

Knock out the hurdles.

When you have a strong foundation, your creativity can run free.

When you have a tried and true approach, making something new is no longer scary.

My framework for music mapping lets you establish that foundation.

Whether you’re planning a choreography or improvised performance, this method supports you.

No matter what style of music, no matter what your level of music familiarity, you can implement this method in your next piece.
