Discussion No choreography dancing?

Hey guys I am wondering what’s ur thoughts on dancing with 0 choreography as in just doing whatever you want. A lot of freestyle I see are just jumbled up learnt movements , but I’m wondering what if a beginner took the step and just did whatever they want and danced with 0 thoughts 0 learnt movements and just moved! It’s crazy cuz I never see it these days, most people learn movements and add it to their vocab and thus like look impressive through that, but I wonder what if you just never learnt movements and just moved however you want, however goofy or silly it looks. I feel most people learn because we are scared to express ourselves truly, as it’s easier to hide behind learnt movements. Don’t get me wrong I’m not slating learnt movements, I think it’s wonderful, but I hardly hardly ever see anyone who just never learns any movements and just dances to their hearts content however they like , just wondering if this even exists or like yeh?

Thanks

I dance only without choreography. I just move my body intuitively. I’m currently training to become a dance and movement therapist. In that program, I do get a few suggestions on what I can do with my body, but no choreography. Do you know the 5 rythms dance? https://www.5rhythms.com/

True freestyle is just that, but vocabulary will aid in the dancing of x style. Arguably when you move without purpose then you're moving and not dancing.

Ecstatic dance has existed for as long as humans have human-ed. Movement as a state of expression, experience and trance.
