Element of Dance - Space • Space is the area occupied by the dancer’s body • Includes: • Direction • Size • Pathway • Level • Shape
Direction • Which way a dancer faces or moves • Forward, backward, sideways, up and down • Forward is not towards you – all directions are relative to the DANCER
Size • Magnitude of a body shape or movement • Small to Large • Large motions are stretched out and extended • Small motions are tight and closed • Examples: • Large • 1:00-1:30 • Small • 12-44 seconds
Pathway • Pathway is the pattern made as a dancer moves through the air or on the floor • Straight, Curvy, Zig-Zag • If dancers had paint on their shoes, would they make a straight line, curvy line, or zig-zag line?
Pathway • Most common: curvy pathways • Example: • Zig-Zag Pathway • 1:38-1:50
Level • Level is the vertical distance from the floor • High, Medium, Low • High – in the air, or extended upwards • Low – down close to the ground • Examples • High Level • 7-35 seconds • Low Level • 0-30 seconds
Shape • The form created by the body’s position in space • Shapes can be open or closed, symmetrical or asymmetrical • Open extended: stretched out • Closed: tight, small • Constantly changing

Phrasing • Phrasing is a grouping or articulation of a group of moves • How the movements go together • If you can stop the performance and it make sense, that’s the end of a phrase. If it would seem abrupt for you to stop there – it’s not the end of the phrase

Flow • Continuity of movement • Flow can be bound or free-flowing • Bound: has a definite start and stop • Free-flowing: connected and fluid • Examples: • Bound • 55-end • Free-Flowing • 0-45 seconds
