Summary/Abstract: In the following paper, Gigi Căciuleanu explains the process of creating and the act of perceiving a dance performance, based on terms such as space, steps, energy, group, or discussing references and inspiration, giving as example the performance Mozart Steps and his first experiences as a dancer. The dancer is defined as a funambulist, suspended above the ground, always trying to reach equilibrium by the continuous act of recovering himself in a life and death situation. Dancing is achievable for each human being, as it uses the body, but beauty and seduction are achieved only through an intelligent body that has the knowledge to manipulate its own energy and the state of mind. The basis of each dance is the simple steps, one learns in childhood, and a dancer must identify with them completely in order to achieve a work of art. The performance is described as a living organism, a process, different with every representation and for each viewer, depending on his attention span, metal and spiritual implication and angle of view.
