The whole body is involved in the story you are telling. Acting isn't just about the face or raising your shoulders up high to show passion.

We believe "A movement that doesn't come from your center is a lie." Martha Graham

Timing is so much a part of communication and, therefore, it's an important element in acting. You can use a tiny pause to signal that what is coming is important. You can use a moving through from one movement to another to create a flow and concentrate the audience's attention on a larger piece of choreography.

(Paraphrased from wikipedia): Piazzolla's tango was distinct from the traditional tango in its incorporation of elements of jazz, its use of extended harmonies and dissonance, its use of counterpoint, and its ventures into extended compositional forms. As Argentine psychoanalyst Carlos Kuri has pointed out, Piazzolla's fusion of tango with this wide range of other recognizable Western musical elements was so successful that it produced a new individual style transcending these influences.
