Improvisation is one of the different manners of composing dance, which differs for the processing characteristic of its configurations. There are running over polemic questions that associate the principles of improvisation and freedom of choice, searching the free actions of agreements, and the current starting of the new. In this study, the shown restrictions in dance improvisation are analyzed, with the purpose to investigate the action fields of the improvisator. Based on the notion of the habits propose by Charles S. Peirce, the relation between habits and changing habits are referred, as the parameter to reflect about composition in improvisation. As a result, the field of possibilities of the improvisator acts with some autonomy between the signs and habits, and the production of new is a relation that is given through equivalence, between regularities and divergence.
