HARMONY

•The sound of two


or more
1. Body
• refers to what is being used to perform. This
includes all parts, shapes, and figures made
by the body, and their relationship with the
other elements.
• When analyzing the body, one may identify
what body parts were used; Is it an individual
part or the whole body? Or it may be several
parts or a whole system (e.g. muscles, bones,
and breathing).
2. Action

• pertains to the movements that the dancer performs,


which includes the dance steps, facial expressions, and
gestures.
• Action is divided into two: locomotor and non-locomotor
movements. Locomotor movements are actions
wherein the body travels from one location to another
(e.g. walking, running, hopping), while non-locomotor
movements do not cause the body to move to another
space (e.g. twist, bend, stretch).
3. Space
• is the relationship of the dancer to another dancer and
the area where the dance occurs.
• The space can be analyzed through the place where
the dancer is, whether they are dancing on a spot
(personal space) or through the space (general
space).
• It can also be described by the size of the space being
used (i.e. small, large, narrow, wide). Their proximity to
other dancers or objects is also considered (near or
far), as well as their positioning (e.g. in front, behind,
beside).
4. Time
• is the rhythm, metered or free, in dance. This includes the
timing of actions and patterns.
• Time is divided into three kinds: clock time, sensed
time, and event-sequence.
• Clock time is based on units of seconds, minutes, and/or
hours.
• Sensed time is moving based on others’ timing (e.g.
waving only after another dancer waves).
• And event-sequence is triggered by internal or external
signals (e.g. cheerleaders change cheers if the team is in
offense or defense in sports).
5. Energy

• is how dance movements happen. This helps


convey the emotion of the routine.
For example, a dance meant to be gentle is
slow, whereas an exciting dance is usually fast
and has swift movements. Additionally, a
routine can be described through the energy
qualities, such as wild, light, timid, smooth,
tight, loose, etc.
