Week 11, Dance 2

Dance Lecture
In this dance lecture we learnt that dance has two forms:
- Art form: To share with others, expressive, emotive using a variety of dimensions.
- Non-art form: For fun, fitness and socialising as at a celebration.

With this, there are six elements of dance:

- Action (What)
Locomotor: Moving from one location to another. (ie. Skipping, walking)
Non-locomotor: Moving without changing location. (ie. Crouching, stretching)

- Space (Where)
Where we move to and the area we use. (i.e. Levels, shape, direction)

- Time (When)
The duration and the speed of movement. (i.e. Fast, slow, sudden, use of beat and rhythm)

- Relationships (Who)
With who (Other people/environment) the movement is with. Including equipment and number of individuals/ groups.

- Dynamics (How)
How we use movement. Energy and control. (i.e. Long, sudden)

- Structure (Form)
How the movements are organised.
