In dance however, efficiency is not the primary objective. This rhythm is related to our efficient function. These interacting forces result in changes of speed, which punctuate our movement flow, making rhythm visible.

In the functional form, we learn to control the relationship between our weight and the force of gravity through appropriate fluctuations in energy. Speed, duration, acceleration and deceleration are the results of this function. Rhythm is an intrinsic principle of movement function. But human movement is not metrically structured and neither is dance. The common result is unitised movement, positions and stepping corresponding with musical beats, so that the movement is organised in the same way as the music.

Or what if my movement is supposed to be in contrast with the music? There are many ways in which movement and music can relate.
