3. PHYSIOLOGICAL QUALITIES OF MOVEMENTS
The use of different gradations of energy to perform a movement is
often described as adding dynamic quality to movement. Specifically, in
dance we identify six dynamic qualities: sustained, percussive, swinging,
suspended, collapsed, and vibratory.
Sustained = slow, smooth, continuous, even
Percussive = sudden, sharp, choppy, jagged
Swinging = sway, to and Pro, pendulum, undercurve
Suspended = stillness, balance, high point
Collapsed = fall, release, relax
Vibratory = shake, tremble, wiggle
4. SARTORIOUS MUSCLE
The sartorius is the longest
muscle in the body,
spanning both the hip and
the knee joints. The word
sartorius is derived from
the Latin word sartor,
which translates to
patcher, or tailor, due to
how the individual will
position their leg while
working.
6. BRACHIO RADIALIS
The brachioradialis
is a muscle of the
forearm that flexes
the forearm at the
elbow. It is also
capable of both
pronation and
supination,
depending on the
position of the
forearm.
8. GLUTEUS MINIMUS
Gluteus minimus is the
smallest muscle of the
glutei. It shares many similar
features that of the gluteus
medius, including structure
and function, blood supply,
and innervation. It is located
just beneath the gluteus
medius muscle. Gluteus
minimus predominantly acts
as a hip stabilizer and
abductor of the hip.
10. TERES MAJOR
Its name is derived from
the Latin word teres,
meaning “rounded” and
major being the bigger of
the two teres muscles.
This muscle is located
above the latissimus dorsi.
The teres major muscle
attaches to the humerus
and the scapula.
