  1. BR# 5: What is dance? How do you know when you have it?

  2. Brainstorm Dance on the Board • To move rhythmically usually to music, using prescribed or improvised steps and gestures.

  3. So you think you knooooow Dance? • Pre-Test Packet

  4. Dance Notes There are 3 elements of dance

  5. SPACE: where and how dancers move • Size – how large or how small the movements are • Focus – point of concentration in a dancer or a group of dancers. Vocabulary in Space

  6. Direction: forward, backward, side to side, diagonal • Shape: determined by designs the dancer’s body or the group of dancers create

  7. Level: how close or how far from the floor the dancers move (3 levels) • Low – • Medium - • High -

  8. Element #2: TIME: how long, fast, or slow a movement is executed • Accent: emphasis, movement the dancer wants noticed • Rhythmic Patterns: are like the music set on top of the beat or pulse. They are the moving patterns the dancer creates. • Duration: how long each movement takes • Stand up

  9. Element #3: FORCE – determined by the amount of energy used and the degree of muscular tension • Tension – when muscles are tight • Relaxation – when muscles are loose

  10. When relaxation and force are varied throughout choreography, you can describe the movement as: • Heavy / light movements • Sharp / smooth • Bound / flowing

  11. Video Clip • Using the 3 elements analyze the dance this time. • Under Space: what directions are they taking? What shapes are they making? What levels are they using? • Under Time: are the movements fast or slow? Are there any “accents”? What’s the duration of their movements? • Under Force: Are their movements tense or relaxed? How do you know?
