Abstract
The body and its movement as well as facial expressions send various information and give ideas when we communicate. Communication consists of both a sender and a receiver. The purpose of this study was to investigate what impression a performer (a sender of information) receives through bodily sensations from dance movements. Male and female 6subjects performed Matsumotos'7Motives and they each selected 3words from check list (1) (2). The result was that the students clearly felt the movement pattern and quality of the Dynamic Mv., Sharp Mv., Flowing Mv., Happy Mv. and a certain relationship between each movement and feeling was found out, but the students' bodily sensations were vague in other 3 Mv.
