Dance Vocabulary Energy: The amount of force or manner in which a movement is performed, or the qualities of movement: percussive, sustained, lyrical, vibratory, rebounding, exploding, and collapsing

Dance Vocabulary Freeze: A command to cease all movement at once and to remain immobile in the shape the body presented when the signal word was given.

Dance Vocabulary Improvisation: Movement which is created spontaneous, ranging from free form to highly structured environments but always with an element of chance. Improvisation is instant and simultaneous choreography and performance.

Dance Vocabulary Level: The space where movement occurs in relation to elevation; this may vary from low to high within the range of human elevation.

Dance Vocabulary Locomotor Movement: A movement that carries the body from one place to another through space using the feet or any other part of the body as a base for moving (i.e. walking, running, hopping, jumping, leaping, skipping, galloping, sliding, rolling and crawling).

Dance Vocabulary Motif: A single movement or a short movement phrase that is developed, manipulated and reoccurring.

Dance Vocabulary Pathway: A course of movement on the floor or in the air which could be straight, curved, random, etc.

Dance Vocabulary Personal Space: The space which immediately surrounds the body in stillness and motion. It is also referred to as a “space bubble” which one occupies and includes all planes and directions.

Dance Vocabulary Positive/Negative: The positive areas in a composition are definite forms and shapes; negative areas are the unoccupied or empty spaces.

Dance Vocabulary Quality: The inherent and essential characteristic or distinctive property of a movement; its distinguishing flavor or color.

Dance Vocabulary Rhythm: A regular reoccurrence of like features in a composition. Rhythm of movement is defined as metered and non-metered. Metered rhythm has a countable beat. Non-metered rhythms originate sometimes form nature (wind, sea, smoke, rain, bird calls), from things (popcorn, feather flight, balls, balloons), or from our own breath rhythms (sneeze, yawn, blink, stretching).

Dance Vocabulary Suspended Movement: A movement that results when the initial force is expended for an instant and a momentary stillness in space is achieved.

Dance Vocabulary Sustained Movement: A movement quality that is characterized by an even flow of energy resulting in motion that is ongoing and smooth. The initial impetus of energy creates an accent and the resultant movement quality carries a smooth and seamless nature.

Dance Vocabulary Swinging Movement: A movement quality that is characterized by a reaction to the force of gravity. A lifted body part releases and drops along a curved path. Energy is added to the momentum of the drop to carry the body part upward on an arc where it suspends before returning on a downward path.

Dance Vocabulary Warm-up: Movements and/or movement phrases which are designed to prepare the body and mind for focus, injury prevention, and muscle development which will be required for more complex movement patterns. The “warm-up” section of a class also elevates the heart rate which in turn increases blood flow to the muscles for increased elasticity.
