What Is Dance And Movement?

Two parts of the same continuum

Movement embodies the informal expression of ideas and feeling based on ordinary human motion

Dance is based on formal use of pattern, rhythm, design, and style

MOVEMENT Locomotor

Movement from one place to another Non Locomotor

Originates from a stationary position

When movement is repeated in a set sequence, it defines a pattern and becomes a dance.

Rhythm plays a large role in dance
