The body is sometimes still and sometimes changing as the dancer moves places in the area. Dancers emphasize specific parts of their body in a dance phrase or use their whole body at once. Another way to describe the body in dance is to consider the body systems—muscles, bones, organs, breath, balance, reflexes.]]> 2018-11-14 06:24:21 UTC https://padlet.com/samantha_wright9/danceelements/wish/304141155 samantha_wright9 https://padlet.com/samantha_wright9/danceelements/wish/304142091 Action is any human movement, it can include dance steps, facial movements,partner lifts, gestures and everyday movements like walking. Action refers not only to steps and sequences, but also pauses and moments of stillness. Dancers may use movements that have been choreographed or traditional dances taught by others who know the dances. Depending on the dance style or the choreographer's decision, danc ers may also revise or embellish movement they have learned from others. ]]> 2018-11-14 06:32:24 UTC https://padlet.com/samantha_wright9/danceelements/wish/304142091 samantha_wright9 https://padlet.com/samantha_wright9/danceelements/wish/304142382 Dancers interact with space in many ways. They may stay in one place or they may travel from one place to another. They may alter in direction, level, size and pathways of their movements. The relationships of the dancers to each other may be based on geometric designs or rapidly change as they move close together, then apart. Even when a dancer is dancing alone in a solo, the dancer is dynamically involved in the space of the performing area so that space might almost be considered a partner in the dance. ]]> 2018-11-14 06:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/samantha_wright9/danceelements/wish/304142382 samantha_wright9 https://padlet.com/samantha_wright9/danceelements/wish/304143302 In dance time refers to the beat of the music. Perfect timing means more than performing basic steps perfectly to music beats. Dance movements may also show different timing relationships such as simultaneous or sequential timing, brief to long duration, fast to slow speed, or accents in predictable or unpredictable intervals.

An arm gesture might be free flowing or easily stopped, and it may be powerful or gentle, tight or loose, heavy or light. A dancer may step into an position with a sharp, attack or with light, flowing ease. Energy may change in an instant, and several types of energy may be concurrently in play.]]> 2018-11-14 06:53:56 UTC https://padlet.com/samantha_wright9/danceelements/wish/304144820
