This text starts from a scene, a singular and complex situation exposed by Bergson at the beginning of his Essay about the immediate data of consciousness. It is the paragraph in which he talks about the aesthetic feeling of grace, in relation with the contemplation of a dancing body. Based on a closereading of this passage we can rethink the bergsonian concept of duration, understanding its relational and continuous dimension: in other words, its rhythmical dimension. Dance will work as a possible mediating image between these concepts.
