In this article, I describe the experience of dancing-a-walk. My specific focus is on the shift that I perceive in my body when I dance-a-walk rather than functionally walking. Following a firstperson perspective, I demonstrate how my experience of practicing dancing-a-walk interrogates the habit of walking and makes it come alive again as an expression of the body. First, I show how the practice of dancing-a-walk challenges the dichotomy between abstract and concrete movement proposed by Maurice Merleau-Ponty in the Phenomenology of Perception. Indeed, dancing-a-walk is an example of a concrete and yet already abstract movement. Then, I turn to concepts such as habits and body memory. By identifying how the perception of my body changes when I dance everyday movements (i.e., walking) versus when I execute such movements functionally, I aim to develop a new perspective on and vocabulary for a phenomenological definition of concrete/abstract movements within the context of dance.

当我跳舞时：舞蹈练习中习惯运动的现象学分析

在本文中，我描述了跳舞的经历。我的重点是在走路时跳舞而不是在功能上走路，从而感觉到身体的变化。从第一人称视角出发，我演示了我的“边走边跳舞”练习经验如何询问步行的习惯，并使之重新焕发活力，成为对身体的一种表达。首先，我展示了“步行跳舞”的实践如何挑战莫里斯·梅洛·庞蒂在感知现象学中提出的抽象运动与具体运动之间的二分法。的确，散步跳舞是一种具体但尚未抽象的运动的例子。然后，我转向诸如习惯和身体记忆等概念。通过识别我在跳舞每天的动作（例如，步行）与进行功能性动作时对身体的感知如何变化，
