10) Force - Vary how much energy you exert. For more passionate or strong emotions, use more force. To create more gentle, soft movements, use less force.

11) Background - Alter the design of your body from the original position and repeat the motif. Let the rest of the body do something while the motif is still going on. For example, sit instead of stand. Maybe try twisting your body while still performing the motif.

12) Staging - Change your position on the stage or the direction you are facing.

13) Embellishment - decorate the movement to include ornamentation. For example, in the picture below the dancer is curving her wrist and her last three fingers to give a relaxed look to her arm movements.

14) Levels - do the movement at a high, middle, or low level. See examples of movements at each of the different levels here.

15) Additive - include locomotor movements. Check out examples of locomotor and non-locomotor movements here.

16) Fragmentation - isolate a part of the motif. For example, if your motif movement (your main movement) is you opening your arms from above, try opening just with one arm in another part of your dance.

17) Combination - combine more than one manipulation at the same time.

18) Repetition - Repeat the movement exactly the same. For example, you could repeat the same movements for the chorus of the song.

19) Canon - Similar to 'repetition' but you'll need at least two dancers to perform it. Each dancer repeats the same dance phrase one after the other. 3 different types of canons that you can utilize are simultaneous, synchronized, and augmented/diminished.

20) Size - Condense or expand the size to a small, medium, or large size. Check out examples here.
