    There are two forms of movement in dancing: locomotor and non-locomotor. Locomotor movements involve traveling from one place to another, such as walking, running, hopping, and jumping. Non-locomotor movements are performed in place and involve movements like bending, stretching, twisting, and swaying. Dances are created by combining these locomotor and non-locomotor movements in a structured way that has a beginning, middle, and end, telling a story through movement.

    celebration, ritual)
    • Recreational (folk,
    social dancing,
    aerobic dance)
    • Artistic (ballet,
    modern, narrative,
    tap, lyrical).

    dance in some way.

    • Dance is a major component


    of many cultures.

    • Dance is often used to


    communicate or celebrate.
    Culture and Dance

    • Cultures use dance in ways


    that are both social and
    personal.
    Dance is also representative of time periods.

    Dance has played an important function in many


    cultures throughout history.
    • Dance styles, costumes, and music often reflect the
    political climate of the time.

    • Dances such as the “Locomotion”, “Macarena”, and


    even the “Chicken Dance” all perform a function in our
    society – they create a “group” of dancers having fun!
    ●Dance allows the dancer or choreographer to
    communicate their ideas, thoughts, and feelings
    through movement.

    ●These movements are structured and


    repeatable, in that they can be taught to others.
    Dance is often used to tell a story.
    ●Like a story or a book, each dance
    has a beginning, middle, and an
    end.

    ●Dance is made up “movement


    materials”, connected into
    “phrases” and put together into a
    complete dance.
