Clear empirical distinctions can be drawn between joint improvisation and choreography in dance by
exploring the rhythmical coordination of dancers and audience members in a partner dance performance.
Novice dancers typically learn footwork patterns or ’basics’ that help them move in time to music together.
Experts’ familiarity with basics, as well as conventional variations and setpiece moves form a set of
compositional structures that can be linked together to fit complimentary rhythmical patterns in music on the
fly. In a ’social dance’ performance such as the Lindy hop, (an African American vernacular jazz dance from
which the data for this study is drawn), dancers link together basics with setpiece moves along with
moments of joint improvisation. These improvised movements are literally extemporaneous they move out
of the temporal regularities of mutually learned patterns and rely on
other kinds of interactional resources and methods to achieve coordination. This paper analyses rhythmical
coordination between dancers and audience members clapping along to a Lindy hop performance in a
naturalistic setting using data drawn from a Youtube
video. This empirical starting point enables a tractable analysis of the haptic, visual, and semantic structures
and processes used for coordinating extemporaneous dance movements. Audience members’ rhythmical
responses to these processes also provides insight into longstanding problems of measurement and meaning in empirical aesthetics. Music and dance psychology tend to emphasise psychophysical measures
and posthoc report as proxies for aesthetic response. This paper proposes new ways to use the observable
patterns of rhythmical
coordination to explore joint improvisation as part of an interactional sensemaking practice Mot(s) clés libre(s) : interaction linguistique, improvisation
