The imagery from dancer’s perspective could be described as a conscious ability to use senses to create or re-create an either real or imaginary experience in the mind, that may affect the movement (Pavlik & Nordin-Bates 2016). Dancers reported, that they are implementing all of these senses while imaging (Nordin & Cumming 2005). Imagery is often referred to as visualisation, however imagery is a more complex process, which includes all the senses such as visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile, gustatory and kinesthetic (Nordin & Cumming 2005). Using the mind, the athletes are able to re-create these ideas again and again and strengthen their skills through repetition, which is similar to physical exercise (Williams & Krane 2015). Imagery is a process of creating a mental image or intention, which a person would want to happen or feel and it engages all the senses. “The world of images” – Inside the dancer’s mind Written by Miroslav Sekula
