	IMEJ Article - Using a Digital Video Annotation Tool to Teach Dance Composition
		In dance, for example, emphasis is often on students' performances as evidence of their understanding of the key concepts of the discipline (Warburton, 2002).
		Dance instructors rarely have a way to collect representations of students' process of creating a dance, and students' work is usually judged on the basis of what is successfully communicated in their final presentations.
		In the third quarter of the dance composition sequence, students are asked to apply choreography concepts that were introduced in previous quarters to three pieces that they create for dancers other than themselves.

		Dance (from Old French dance, further history unknown) generally refers to human movement either used as a form of expression (see also body language) or presented in a social, spiritual or performance setting.
		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.
		Dance therapy, or Dance movement therapy (sometimes referred to as choreotherapy), is the psychotherapeutic use of movement (and dance) for emotional, cognitive, social, behavioural and physical conditions.

	CREATIVE MOVEMENT AND DANCE , AGES 3 TO 12 YEARS OLD. BASIC DANCE BIBLIOGRAPHY
		Presenting her philosophy of art and the teaching of dance composition, the author discusses the role of the dance teacher, the teacher as a dance critic, and aesthetic principles.
		Some of the topics for the dance studies are: movement technique, use of space, elements of rythm, sensory and ideational stimuli, dance as art expression, structural approach to dance composition; she talks about the preparation of a dance production, music, costumes and even construction of the costumes, and lighting.
		A specialist in dance composition, the author embraces the ideas that one cannot find traditional meaning in dance, and that this kind of meaning violates the basic premise of the art form, that art may exist for its own sake.

	Postmodern dance - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		A reaction to the compositional and presentation constraints of modern dance, postmodern dace hailed the use of everyday movement as valid performance art and advocated novel methods of dance composition.
		However, the postmodern dance movement rapidly developed to embrace the ideology of postmodernism which was reflected in the wide variety of dance works emerging from Judson dance theater, the home of postmodern dance.
		Lasting from the 1960s to the 1970s the main thrust of Postmodern dance was relatively short lived but its legacy lives on in contemporary dance (a blend of modernism and postmodernism) and the rise of postmodernist choreographic processes that have produced a wide rage of dance works in varying styles.

	Dance of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Closely related to the development of American music in the early 20th century was the emergence of a new, and distinctively American, art form -- modern dance.
		The main line of development, however, runs from the dance company of Ruth St. Denis (1878-1968) and her husband-partner, Ted Shawn (1891-1972).
		Recently such choreographers as Mark Morris (1956-) and Liz Lerman (1947-) have defied the convention that dancers must be thin and young.
