Deciphering Dance
Few people will pursue careers as choreographers, performers
or dance critics, but most will see dance in at least some of its
many forms. Each viewer will have a unique response to a dance
whether performed by a professional in a theater or by a peer in
the classroom. Dance has been described as the "art of the
instant" and no piece of choreography, even if performed over
and over again by the same dancers, will be exactly the same
each time it is performed. Dance movement may seem very fast
and hard to remember at first, but when you have seen many
performances and learned more about this art form, it will
become easier to think about and discuss. The process outlined
here, which involves describing, analyzing, interpreting and
evaluating, should enhance appreciation of the art of dance.
As per outline below, responses should be
at least
four paragraphs long. The intro should include who, what,
when, where regarding the performance. Make sure there is a
clear conclusion, though that can be part of the
Evaluation
paragraph.
Description
What happened during the performance? Describe what you
saw.
dancers (solo, duet, trio, quartet, male, female)
costumes (fabric, color, design)
set (dancers move around or dance on or under)
props (dancers hold and manipulate)
music (live, recorded, instrumentation)
lighting (bright, dim, spotlight, general, color)
idea, theme or story (environment, historical event,
human relationships, etc.)
Analysis
How are the dance elements of SPACE, TIME,
ENERGY/FORCE, BODY, MOVEMENT and FORM seen in the
work?
How did the dancers use SPACE?
place (general space, personal space)
size (big, small, far, close)
pathway (straight, curved, zigzag)
direction (forward, backward, sideways, up, down)
focus (at each other, at the audience, internal)
level (low/close to ground, high/above the floor,
middle/between low and high)
How did the dancers use TIME?
pulse/beat (regular, predictable)
tempo (fast, slow, combination)
music (relationship of movement to musical phrasing and
dynamics)
accent (emphasis placed on certain movements)
pattern/rhythm (repeated sequence of slow and fast
movement, with or without stillness)
How did the dancers use ENERGY/FORCE?
attack (smooth/fluid, sharp/jagged/abrupt, jiggly, and vibratory)
weight (heavy/strong, light)
flow (loose/free/continuous,
heldback/controlled/restrained/bound)
How did the dancers use their BODIES?
isolation (emphasize certain parts or use entire bodies)
relationships (near/far, meeting/parting, alone/connected,
mirroring/shadowing/echoing, etc.)
shape/design (curved or straight, symmetrical or asymmetrical,
use of positive and negative space) balance (on or off balance)
What types of MOVEMENT were performed by the dancers?
locomotor (walk, run, jump, hop, leap, gallop, slide, skip,
crawl, roll or combinations of these)
non-locomotor/axial (bend, twist, stretch, swing, lunge, wiggle,
shake, fall, melt, sway, turn,
etc.)
What FORM did the dance take?
recurring theme (theme in variation, canon, round)
ABA (a = one phrase, b = different phrase)
abstract (non representational)
narrative (representational, in the form of a story)
suite (moderate beginning, slow center and fast end, or group of
three short dances)
broken form (unrelated ideas, often used for humor)
Interpretation
What did the dance mean to you?
Did the dance imitate or represent a situation or event you could
recognize or to which you could relate?
If the dance was narrative in form, summarize the story or
identify the theme.
Describe your mood after watching the dance. (refreshed,
thoughtful, sad, energized, angry)
Describe the taste, smell, texture, or sound of the dance.
Identify movements or familiar gestures (a wave, thumbs up,
etc.) that contributed to the dance's meaning.
What title or name would you give to the dance?
Evaluation
Most everyone will have an immediate and individual response
to a dance whether seen on television, in the movies, on the
street, or in a theater. While personal opinions are important, it
is also possible to compare a particular dance to others that you
have seen.
Did the dance explore the ways the body can move and the
designs it can make rather than attempt to tell a story or attempt
to communicate a specific message?
What did you learn about the choreographer? (where and when
he/she worked, what was important to him/her)
Identify other choreographers who have made dances based on
similar ideas.
Was the work in one dance style or tradition? (modern, African,
tap, flamenco, jazz, ballet, folklore, Native American, etc.). If
not, how did it combine movements and qualities found in
several kinds of dance?
Why was the dance created and performed? (cultural expression,
social, recreation, religious, therapy, exercise, education, to
communicate to an audience)
Assess the performers. (well-trained, highly skilled, unskilled,
amateur, professional, etc.)
Who do you think would appreciate a performance of this work?
(friends, parents, dancers, politicians)
NOTE -- This process can be used to look at any type of dance.
When evaluating your own work, also answer the following
questions:
What was successful about the dance? (commendations)
How would you improve it? (recommendations)

Adapted from: Arts Work at Arizona State University Deciphering Dance Few people will pursue careers as choreographers, performers or dance critics, but most will see dance in at least some of its many forms. Each viewer will have a unique response to a dance whether performed by a professional in a theater or by a peer in the classroom. Dance has been described as the "art of the instant" and no piece of choreography, even if performed over and over again by the same dancers, will be exactly the same each time it is performed. Dance movement may seem very fast and hard to remember at first, but when you have seen many performances and learned more about this art form, it will become easier to think about and discuss. The process outlined here, which involves describing, analyzing, interpreting and evaluating, should enhance appreciation of the art of dance. As per outline below, responses should be at least four paragraphs long. The intro should include who, what, when, where regarding the performance. Make sure there is a clear conclusion, though that can be part of the Evaluation paragraph. Description What happened during the performance? Describe what you saw. dancers (solo, duet, trio, quartet, male, female) costumes (fabric, color, design) set (dancers move around or dance on or under)
  • 3. props (dancers hold and manipulate) music (live, recorded, instrumentation) lighting (bright, dim, spotlight, general, color) idea, theme or story (environment, historical event, human relationships, etc.) Analysis How are the dance elements of SPACE, TIME, ENERGY/FORCE, BODY, MOVEMENT and FORM seen in the work? How did the dancers use SPACE? place (general space, personal space) size (big, small, far, close) pathway (straight, curved, zigzag) direction (forward, backward, sideways, up, down) focus (at each other, at the audience, internal) level (low/close to ground, high/above the floor, middle/between low and high) How did the dancers use TIME? pulse/beat (regular, predictable) tempo (fast, slow, combination) music (relationship of movement to musical phrasing and dynamics) accent (emphasis placed on certain movements) pattern/rhythm (repeated sequence of slow and fast movement, with or without stillness) How did the dancers use ENERGY/FORCE? attack (smooth/fluid, sharp/jagged/abrupt, jiggly, and vibratory) weight (heavy/strong, light) flow (loose/free/continuous, heldback/controlled/restrained/bound) How did the dancers use their BODIES? isolation (emphasize certain parts or use entire bodies)
  • 4. relationships (near/far, meeting/parting, alone/connected, mirroring/shadowing/echoing, etc.) shape/design (curved or straight, symmetrical or asymmetrical, use of positive and negative space) balance (on or off balance) What types of MOVEMENT were performed by the dancers? locomotor (walk, run, jump, hop, leap, gallop, slide, skip, crawl, roll or combinations of these) non-locomotor/axial (bend, twist, stretch, swing, lunge, wiggle, shake, fall, melt, sway, turn, etc.) What FORM did the dance take? recurring theme (theme in variation, canon, round) ABA (a = one phrase, b = different phrase) abstract (non representational) narrative (representational, in the form of a story) suite (moderate beginning, slow center and fast end, or group of three short dances) broken form (unrelated ideas, often used for humor) Interpretation What did the dance mean to you? Did the dance imitate or represent a situation or event you could recognize or to which you could relate? If the dance was narrative in form, summarize the story or identify the theme. Describe your mood after watching the dance. (refreshed, thoughtful, sad, energized, angry) Describe the taste, smell, texture, or sound of the dance. Identify movements or familiar gestures (a wave, thumbs up, etc.) that contributed to the dance's meaning. What title or name would you give to the dance? Evaluation Most everyone will have an immediate and individual response
  • 5. to a dance whether seen on television, in the movies, on the street, or in a theater. While personal opinions are important, it is also possible to compare a particular dance to others that you have seen. Did the dance explore the ways the body can move and the designs it can make rather than attempt to tell a story or attempt to communicate a specific message? What did you learn about the choreographer? (where and when he/she worked, what was important to him/her) Identify other choreographers who have made dances based on similar ideas. Was the work in one dance style or tradition? (modern, African, tap, flamenco, jazz, ballet, folklore, Native American, etc.). If not, how did it combine movements and qualities found in several kinds of dance? Why was the dance created and performed? (cultural expression, social, recreation, religious, therapy, exercise, education, to communicate to an audience) Assess the performers. (well-trained, highly skilled, unskilled, amateur, professional, etc.) Who do you think would appreciate a performance of this work? (friends, parents, dancers, politicians) NOTE -- This process can be used to look at any type of dance. When evaluating your own work, also answer the following questions: What was successful about the dance? (commendations) How would you improve it? (recommendations) (Adapted by Kathy Lindholm Lane from Mary Stockrocki's "Learning to Look/Looking to Learn")
