HSC Dance - Sequencing & transitions? ›

Sequencing is how you organise phrases, sequences and sections in a logical order in relation to your concept/intent. Part of this process includes considerations to the beginning, middle and end of your dance. The final chosen order of your sections must give the appearance of a unified whole.

Choreography: The sequence of steps and movements.

Logical sequence

The flow of phrases or sections of a dance.

The three-phase choreographic process. The choreographic process may be divided for analytical purposes (the divisions are never distinct in practice) into three phases: gathering together the movement material, developing movements into dance phrases, and creating the final structure of the work.

These are known as the seven movements in dancing. These are plier (to bend), etendre (to stretch), relever (to rise), sauter (to jump), tourner (to turn), glisser (to glide), and elancer (to dart).

This lesson introduced you to the four main elements of dance: space, time, levels, and force. These elements are applicable to all forms of dance.

Position, Level, and Facing

The orientation, or position, of the movements also shape the space the dance exists within.

Sequential activities are tasks or duties that must be completed, or at least started, in order. For example, if you're making spaghetti, you must first fill a pot with water, then boil the water and then add the pasta.

What is sequencing movement? ›

The combination of fundamental movement skills and movement elements to enable the body and/or objects to move in response to a stimulus.

Here we detail the five elements that all forms of dance and creative movement have in common: body, action, space, time and energy. Being able to identify and understand these core characteristics can help you when talking about a dance performance or can help you get your own messages across through movement.

International Standard is comprised of five dances competed in the order of: Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot, and Quickstep. The most distinguishing characteristic of International Standard, often abbreviated as “Standard”, is the hold.

Modern dance may include chaine tour (chain turns), glissade (gliding steps) that predicate jetes (jumps) and tour de basque (leaps) and front-to-back and side-to-side steps, like the ballet step "chasse".

The 6-step is the basic sequence of breakdancing footwork. The dancer uses their arms to support their body above the floor while moving their legs in a circle.

Specifically, in dance we identify six dynamic qualities: sustained, percussive, swinging, suspended, collapsed, and vibratory.

Locomotor and Non-locomotor Movements

Fundamental body movements are basic body movements that involve various body parts.

What is the most important element of dance? ›

The most important element of dance is music, and it is rare for dance of any kind—social, theatrical, or religious—to develop without musical accompaniment.

DYNAMICS – HOW the dancer moves eg fast/slow, sudden/sustained, acceleration/deceleration, strong/light, direct/indirect, flowing/abrupt. SPACE – WHERE the dancer moves eg pathways, levels, directions, size of movements, patterns, spatial design.

Time, energy, and space are the three elements that comprise choreography. Time refers to when movements occur in the choreography and whether they are fast or slow.

There are two types of movement. Axial and Locomotor. Axial movement happens in a stationary place and locomotor movement travels through space.

Throughout history, people have danced for social, cultural, and theatrical reasons.

Kids easily learn that one thing follows another. Their routines at home provide great examples, and are a good introduction to the concept of sequencing. For example, first we eat dinner, then we take a bath, after that we read stories, and finally we turn out the light.

There are four main types of different sequences you need to know, they are arithmetic sequences, geometric sequences, quadratic sequences and special sequences.

Next-generation sequencing involves three basic steps: library preparation, sequencing, and data analysis. Find resources to help you prepare for each step and see an example workflow for microbial whole-genome sequencing, a common NGS application.

Sequencing refers to the identification of the components of a story — the beginning, middle, and end — and also to the ability to retell the events within a given text in the order in which they occurred. The ability to sequence events in a text is a key comprehension strategy, especially for narrative texts.

What are sequencing strategies? ›

The strategies used for sequencing genomes include the Sanger method, shotgun sequencing, pairwise end, and next-generation sequencing.

Keep moving. The key to remembering a routine is to convert the physical movements into muscle memory which means you don't have to think about each step. Go over steps in class as much as possible, in particular tricky quick movements. Repetition is key to creating muscle memory.

A choreographer is one who creates choreographies by practising the art of choreography, a process known as choreographing. It most commonly refers to dance choreography.

CHOREOGRAPHIC FORMS

Narrative, Simple Binary form (AB), Tenery Form (ABA), Theme and Variation, Rondu (ABACA), Non-Specified Sequential Form.

Tools of the choreographer used for the creation of dances such as abstraction, canon, motif, contrast, accumulation, repetition, reversal, retrograde, inversion, fragmentation, and embellishment.

call and response : A sequential choreographic form in which one dancer calls or performs a dance phrase while another dancer or group responds by imitating the same phrase or performing a related one.

Try to follow the Golden Rule: treat others as you wish to be treated. Smile. Make eye contact, however do not stare down your partner.

For those that decide to do their first dance at the start of the reception this should be done after the wedding breakfast. It is then the turn of the mother and father of the bride to dance, while the groom dances with this mother and then the groom's parent's dance with each other.

Sequence of Dance Partners in Wedding

The bride and groom will dance first. This is the usual format. Then the parent dances with the couple - the father with the bride and the mother with the groom. The groom's father will then dance with the bride and the groom with the mother-in-law.

What is the sequence of movement? ›

A movement sequence in the human body comprises coordinated and arbitrary sequences of individual movements. These have often been learned as a fixed routine that is dependent on the task at hand (such as gripping or walking).

Choreographer: A person who composes the sequence of steps and moves for a performance of dance.

Dance moves or dance steps (more complex dance moves are called dance patterns, dance figures, dance movements, or dance variations) are usually isolated, defined, and organized so that beginning dancers can learn and use them independently of each other.

The 5 movements you should perform are: push, pull, hip-hinge, squat, and plank. Each of these movements requires multiple joints and body systems to work together, and they are also incorporated in activities we do every day.

The human body has five basic movement patterns: bending, single-sided, rotational, pushing and pulling.

Examples: sharp: bounce, burst, dab, dart, explode, fling, flick, jab, jerk, jitter, march, poke.

There are several thousand sequence type dances which have been published and I have tried to compile a list of as many as possible. This list includes some 3,500 of the normal UK sequence dances as well as many party type dances and also sequence dances from the Southern Hemisphere.

Basic (step / figure / movement / or pattern)

A basic figure is the very basic step that defines the character of a dance. Often it is called just thus: "basic movement", "basic step" or the like.
