Co-ordination

Co-ordination

Skills of balance,control and energy
1. finely tune nervous system
  1. Repeated exercises
    1. Increase speed
      1. Gradual improved skills
    2. increase complexity
    3. Increase lengh of phase
    4. build link between commands and muscle memory
      1. memory pictures are stored in the brain
        movement becomes automatic
        Dancer becomes more focused on performance
  2. nerves
  3. Brain
  4. receptos & reflexes
  5. messages sent through neurons
2. negotioating direction of forces in the body to perrofm complex moves safley and expressivley
Movement Blocks
1. specific weakness in musculareture
2. Individual anatomical differences
  1. speeds
  2. strench & weakness
  3. bone lengh/size
3. Stylistic blocks; can't adjust to different patterns and teachniques
4. Can lead to...
  1. increased injury
  2. imagined injury
  3. fake injury to avoid stressful situation
  4. loss of flexibility
  5. loss of smooth,co-ordinated movement
  6. increase in heart rate and blood pressure
  7. Long term stress caused by movement block
    1. tension
    2. depression
    3. long term injury
    4. anxiety
Memory techniques
1. mind build pictures and images
  1. remember movement and phrases
    1. automatic
2. kinesthetic sense
  1. feeling things to sense them
    1. remember through doing
    2. nervous system
    3. touch can help dancers learn where muscles should be lpaced
3. mental rehersal
  1. go over movement in the head, recalling images
    1. consolidates memory
4. movement memory
  1. repeated exercises
    1. increase complexity
Physical Skills
1. Control of energy
  1. co-ordination gives dancer control of body parts
    1. style
    2. technique
    3. centre of gravity
    4. dynamics
    5. alignment
2. Balance
  1. alignment and stibility
    1. core strengh
      1. being centered
        centre of gravity
  2. directing energies through the body
    1. central line
    2. through the floor
  3. eyes
    1. spotting
3. accuracy
  1. ability to reproduce movement from demonstation
  2. sensitivity to changes in dynamics and spatial oreitation
    1. choreographic intentions
    2. use of breath
      1. control
      2. expression
      3. less tension= more accurate
  3. spotting
