How do you relate body movements to the tempo of a musical example?

In a developmental study, children's body movements to music were found to differ depending on acoustical characteristics of music; vertical motion was related to changes in pitch and loudness, while tempo changes were related to the speed and muscular energy of movement (Kohn and Eitan, 2009).

What performance in music and arts tells a story by using body movements and facial expression?

Mime is a non-verbal performance style that uses movement, gestures, and facial expressions. Pantomime comes from the same roots as mime but includes singing, dancing, and highly exaggerated physicality, usually in the retelling of a beloved children's story.
