Abstract

Expressive features tend to be considered as ineffable, both in the field of music and dance. They are faced as depending on the performer's kinesthetic experience. This paper inquires into psychological processes involved in the transfer of musical experience to expressive movement learning in dance realm based on metacognitive resources applied both to music and kinesthetic performance in parallel. Research is approached from a collaborative autoethnographic methodology going deep into the personal experience of one of the authors. From this, a narrative is developed in order to visualize and analyze some crucial features of the knowledge built over the course of the experience.
