Good question. It all depends on the *amount* or *degree* of movement
for me. I want to know/feel that musicians are feeling the music by
seeing them sway slightly but some musicians simply overdo it.
Obviously this is a very personal issue, and when I play, I don't move a
lot either.

Best wishes

Audrey
