Combinations: Introduction
This
tutorial is a collection of case studies; it's about how a small number
of elements can be performed simultaneously to produce a combination.
In the last example, two combinations are performed in succession to
produce a combination sequence or move sequence.
If
you've been to other lessons before, then you may well have come across
these combinations being portrayed as individual moves. I have a slightly
different view; if they can be broken down into smaller components,
then they are divisible (and therefore not individual) combinations.
We've
already learned that merengue as a dance can be broken into very fine
elements. This is an advantage to you in the long term because an increase
in resolution is potentially an increase in understanding. What we'll
witness here is how variations of these elements may be combined to
give rise to combinations that look and feel very different, yet share
identical motifs.
