Dance is the Measure of Architecture

“Baroque dance is based on proportions, angles and geometry,” Catherine Turocy writes. Roman Architect Vitruvius in the first century writing about architecture,and Leonardo da Vinci in the Renaissance writing about architecture and the body and now Catherine Turocy in the 21st Century continues to make the correlation between architecture, the golden ratio, the golden spiral, the body, and the geometry of dance. The patterns of parquet floors of ballrooms and the proportions of formal gardens have been determined by the measure of dance. The spiral paths of dance mimic the geometry of the spiral staircase. Dance adds thoughts and emotions to these mathematical formulas that are expressed by angles within the body and by the moving body. The aesthetic system of math, science, and arts can be measured by formal gardens and dance. The proportions of architecture that make us happy in a home make us happy in Dance. https://nybaroquedance.org/
