Dance is an art form consisting of sequences of body movements with aesthetic and often symbolic value, either improvised or purposefully selected. Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography, by its repertoire of movements or by its historical period or place of origin. Dance is typically performed with musical accompaniment, and sometimes with the dancer simultaneously using a musical instrument themselves.

The human body is what others see when they look at dance. Sometimes the body is still; other times, it may be in motion. A dancer can use the whole body, or emphasize individual body parts, when moving.

Action is any human movement involved in the act of dancing. What do dancers do? They move—this is the action they perform. Movement can be divided into two general categories:

Non-locomotor or axial movement: Any movement that occurs in one spot including a bend, stretch, swing, rise, fall, shake, turn, rock, tip, suspend, and twist.

Locomotor movement: Any movement that travels through space including a run, jump, walk, slide, hop, skip, somersault, leap, crawl, gallop, and roll.

# data[].attributes.body
Level: Is the movement on the floor or reaching upward? Are they performed high, medium, or low?

Direction: Does the movement go forward, backward, sideways, right, left, or on a diagonal?

Place: Is the movement done on the spot (personal space) or does it move through space (general space, downstage, upstage)?

Orientation: Which way are the dancers facing?

Pathway: Is the path through space made by the dancers curved, straight, or zigzagged? Or is it random?

Size: Does the movement take up a small, narrow space, or a big, wide space?

Relationships: How are the dancers positioned in space in relationship to one another? Are they close together or far apart? Are they in front of, beside, behind, over, under, alone, or connected to one another?

# data[].attributes.body
How Does the Body Move in Relation to Time?

Clock Time: We use clock time to think about the length of a dance or parts of a dance measured in seconds, minutes, or hours.

Timing Relationships: When dancers move in relation to each other (before, after, together, sooner than, faster than).

Metered Time: A repeated rhythmic pattern often used in music (like 2/4 time or 4/4 time). If dances are done to music, the movement can respond to the beat of the music or can move against it. The speed of the rhythmic pattern is called its tempo.

Free Rhythm: A rhythmic pattern is less predictable than metered time. Dancers may perform movement without using music, relying on cues from one another.

Energy helps us to identify how the dancers move. What effort are they using? Perhaps their movements are sharp and strong, or maybe they are light and free. Energy also represents the quality of the movement—its power and richness. For choreographers and dancers, there are many possibilities.
