in a couple of years, I will be studying to teach for the Royal Academy of Dance. My teacher is introducing me to Benesh already. She says learning it is one thing; remembering it is another!

hi, thanks for this video, I was always wondering how choreographer do these things. what I want to know though is if there is a possibility to read dance steps when I want to learn a dance choreography. I know there are software that slow down motion so I can see what is the move about but I would like an explanation of each move as it is done in a dance studio. any idea?

+Sarva Khitana Hi Sarva, The Royal Academy of Dance Set Exercises and Variations have been published in Benesh Movement Notation (BMN). There have also been many choreographic works recorded in BMN. Some of these scores are available for education purposes. Here is a link to the PDF of the catalogue of Benesh Scores: www.radcanada.org/documents/benesh-docs/benesh-score-catalogue.pdf Benesh scores give an analysis of the dance steps. Simple balletic exercises can even be sight-read in a studio. Naturally more complicated movements require more time to interpret the notation. We are presently creating a series of interactive iBooks to be used as a resource for learning BMN. If you have an iPad you might want to take a look: "Benesh for Ballet: Book 1" - itunes.apple.com/us/book/isbn9781631026034 "Benesh for Ballet: Book 2" - itunes.apple.com/us/book/isbn9781944170110 We are presently working on our 3rd book. I also have a website: www.dancewrite.com/OpenBenesh/Welcome.html If you would like further information, please post your questions here and I will try to answer them for you. Many thanks for joining my KZitem channel and for posting your question. Robyn.

Is there a notation for when the feet go higher than the hands? Thanks, this was very interesting.

Yes Adam. When either the hands go into the lower portion of the stave or the feet go into the upper portion of the stave (and you need to clarify which sign is which) you use a cross-out sign (a small diagonal stroke sloping to the left) to show which limb is out of it's "normal" quadrant. The cross-out sign slopes to the right for limbs that cross the centre line of the stave; and the cross-out sign slopes to the left for limbs that cross the upper/lower quadrant of the stave. I hope this explanation makes sense. See the logo on my DanceWrite Website (dancewrite.com) - my right leg is above my waist so there is a left sloping cross-out sign on the level sign for the right leg.

She said she is considering classical technique, however is it possible to use these notations for something else like a musical?

Yes, Diogo. Benesh Movement Notation can be used for all dance genres. There are just different assumptions used depending on the movement genre, e.g., full turnout in classical ballet is assumed. Benesh notators attempt to notate only the necessary positions and movements. More detail can be added to the notation score when it is necessary to clarify unusual movements in whatever genre the notation score exists. Benesh notation has also be used in other movement genres, e,g., clinical and ergonomic studies.

Martial Arts Notation is more simple, more readable, more useful ...it's time specific and writable! The innovation consists in it not insisting on specifying the details of a move an artist should already know. It thus gives the artist freedom of interpretation. Via the innovation of applying the percussive full stroke to movement notation, it cuts out excessive symbolism. The symbols are notes not a myriad of pictograms! No need to re invent the wheel... simply bring the wheel to the cart! M.S.
