This is actually 2 dance questions but anyways -What does it mean to change slowly from one shape to another in dance?
-What is the moment of stillness to let the audience know you are about to start?
(I’ll reward points + brainalist)

1 - I think what you're talking about is transition? If so its when a movement, phrase, or section of a dance progresses into the next. Along with shape, shape is "Shape is an aspect of the element of space. Shape is perhaps the strongest visual component in dance. The term shape may refer to individual body shapes (the way in which 3-dimensional space is used by the body) and group shapes. Body shapes are present in all actions in dance. "

2 - "Beginning dancers often assume that one must be continuously in motion -- keep moving, keep moving, fill up the music.  But constant motion is wearying to watch and gives the viewer no time to rest.  Of course, pauses do more than just give the audience a breather.  Stillness provides a frame for motion.  When the dancer stops moving, it serves to accent the previous move -- it lets the viewer know that something important just happened. "
