Synopsis
"Your Move: A New Approach to the Study of Movement and Dance, 2nd Edition "is a revision of a well-known textbook used by teachers of dance movement and dance notation. In it, the author takes a new approach to teaching notation through movement exercises, thus enlarging the scope of the book to teachers of movement and choreography as well as the traditional dance notation students. Through a series of exercises, the student progresses through the basic movement vocabulary, from traveling through support and elevation (jumping); direction; flexion and extension; rotations, revolutions, and turns; supporting; balance; relationships; leading; gestures; direction; aerial steps; turning of the body parts; destination; and dynamics. All of these movements are related to notation, so the student learns how to notate and describe the movements as they are performed.
