Description Mountains Never Meet. And they never did They wouldn't know what to say to each other. Dancers can't walk, according to a widespread prejudice. At east not like 'real people', the Argument goes. You will always be able to tell their dancer's... But is it really necessary for dancers to know how to walk, one might ask. After all, their training enables them to move in much more complex and refined ways than those who excel in a non-dancerly manner... The point of departure for this work was to investigate the difference between walking and dancing and if, in fact, it was as monumental as often
