 Dance
can be “defined” many different
ways. However it can be difficult to capture
the depth and power of dance in just a few
words.
 One’s personal definition of dance can be
directly linked to one’s personal feelings
about it.
 We will gain a deeper appreciation of dance
by studying its components and its uses in
society. Perhaps our definitions will change.
Dance is Movement of the
Body, therefore it is
extremely important to
understand just how the
body is capable (and not
capable) of moving.
Understanding the parts of the body
that create movement.
 The
following notes are interactive ... ( I am
still learning how to use the Smartboard so
be patient)
 You may want to WAIT until the activity on
the slide is complete before writing down the


The Human Body is a collection

 TRUE
OR FALSE
 ____Comprised of
over 200 bones.
 ____When you are
born you have
around 300 bones
but as you grow
many of these fuse
together.
 ____You have to
know the latin
names of every
bone for this class.
 The
spine (or backbone) consists of 33
irregularly shaped bones called vertebrae.
 Fibrous cartilage between vertebrae called
intervertebral discs act as shock absorbers
and allow the back to move.
 This is how you can bend at the waist and
twist side to side to side.


Muscles are tissues in
the body that are
designed to CONTRACT.
There are three
different types of
muscles:
Skeletal Muscles
 Cardiac Muscles
 Smooth Muscles


Some muscles are
involuntary-meaning
they move on their own
and you can not
consciously control
them.
 What
are some
actions that your
body does that are
semi involuntary?
(Meaning you
usually don’t have
to think about
them but
sometimes you can
control them?)
 You
decide to move.
 The
Brain sends a message to the appropriate
body parts.

Compare this to something you do everyday!
 The
muscles contract or relax causing the
desired movement.

____Blood flow increases
lowering stress on the heart.
____Increased muscle
temperature allows the
muscles to contract more
forcefully and relax more
quickly.
____Improved range of motion
around joints.
____Increased body
temperature results in greater
muscle elasticity.
____Can improve endurance
and conversion of
carbohydrates and fatty acids
into energy.
____Warm ups are also an
excellent way to prepare your
mind for the task at hand.
