	Dance notation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dance notation is the symbolic representation of dance movement, it is analogous to Movement notation but can be limited to representing human movement and specific forms of dance such as Tap dance.
		The primary use of dance notation is the documentation, analysis and reconstruction of choreography and dance forms or technical exercises.
		The first computerized notation system, which displayed an animated figure on the screen which performed the dance moves specified by the choreographer, was the DOM dance notation system, created by Eddie Dombroiwer on the Apple II personal computer in 1982.

		Dance is also used to describe methods of non-verbal communication between humans or animals (bee dance, mating dance), motion in inanimate objects (the leaves danced in the wind), and certain musical forms or genres.
		Definitions of what constitutes dance are dependent on social, cultural, aesthetic artistic and moral constraints and range from functional movement (such as Folk dance) to codified, virtuoso techniques such as ballet.
		In the early 1920s dance studies (dance practice, critical theory, analysis and history) began to be considered a serious academic discipline.

	Round Dance Server -> Notation for cue sheets (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Round dance clubs have a "cuer" who uses a microphone to tell dancers what to do, much like a square dance caller, but instead of a square dance, they are doing a pre-choreographed ballroom dance routine.
		Round dancing uses ballroom steps, but the leader (called the cuer) calls out the steps to be done in a manner similar to the way that a square dance caller tells the square dancers what to do.
		Thus, while line dances and sequence dances have an unvarying pattern no matter what the music actually does, a round dance choreographer can account for the fact that some arrangements of a piece of music may have an extra measure or two sandwiched in between the longer 8 or 16 measure phrases.

		The earliest surviving attempt at dance notation was in the form of letter-symbols found in the municipal archives of Cervera, Spain, from the last half of the 15th century.

		During my first summer there I learned that there was a way to write dance, but even though this technique, known as dance notation, was stimulating intellectually, I was going to be a dancer and therefore had no serious interest in it.
		I have notated dances of David Parsons, Alwin Nikolais, Martha Clarke, and Alvin Ailey.
		Compared to the written word or to music, dance notation is still in its infancy, but no other generation of dancers has had the opportunity to literally hold their history in their hands.

	SHORTHAND DANCE NOTATION
		The shorthand notation does not record hand movements and for partner dances, only the male role in the dance is recorded.
		A starting orientation other than anti-clockwise at the commencement of a dance is indicated by one of the letters i, o, or c at the beginning of the dance notation.
		Although the orientation at any point of a dance can be worked out by following the steps from the beginning of a dance, it is sometimes helpful to include the actual orientation at a beginning of a section particularly in the more complex dances.

	Some Thoughts on Circle Dance Notation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		What this system of notation is best suited to is jotting down a dance after you have learned it but before it is 'in your bones'.
		Trying to learn a dance from straight notation is virtually impossible, there is just not enough there to bring even the simplest dance to life.
		Apart from the basic problems of getting the tempo and fitting the dance to the music in the same way there is the loss of any particular style (there used to be an old joke that somes dance were done in 'circle dance style' - meaning no style at all).
