The binary form consists of two distinct self-contained sections that share either a character or quality, i.e., the same tempo, movement quality, or style.  \nABA A three-part compositional form in which the second section contrasts with the first section. The third section is a restatement of the first section in a condensed, abbreviated, or extended form.  \nAbstract Concepts Ideas that have been removed, separated from, or condensed from concrete realities, specific objects or actual instances.  \nAesthetic Qualities or experience derived from or based upon the senses and how they are affected or stimulated.  \nAesthetic Judgments Assessment and decision-making about the adequacy of fine art forms. (These are relative, never absolute, and depend upon the character of the form, need of the participant, and the environment.)  \nAesthetic Principles Considerations that guide a choreographer in the creation of a dance: balance, climax, contrast, harmony, proportion, repetition, sequence, transition, unity, and variety.  \nArt Form The shape and structure of fine arts activity, the origin of the components comprising a work of art in to a distinct order; a product or process of dance, music, theatre, or visual art.  \nAudience Etiquette Prescribed or accepted behavior among the members of a group; accepted audience behavior for dance performance.  \nAwareness of Space The ability to know the location of self and others on stage; the ability to dance while maintaining the formation or line dictated by the choreography.  \nBalance Arrangement (symmetrical or asymmetrical) of proportionate parts so that equilibrium exists; manipulation of floor pattern, movements and dancers in relation to each other.  \nBody The Instrument of dance, the positions and ways the body is used in a dance.  \nCall-and-Response A structure in which one soloist or group performs while a second soloist or group’s performance responds to or answers the first.  \nVSC Dance Glossary 9/1/04 Page 2 of 2  \nCanon A choreographic form that reflects the musical form of the same name in which individuals and groups perform the same movement phrase beginning at different times.  \nChoreographic Forms Structures that a choreographer uses in the creation of a dance such as AB, ABA, rondo, canon, theme and variation, call and response, and narrative.  \nChoreography The art of planning and arranging dance movements into a meaningful whole; the process of building a composition; a finished dance work  \nClarity The ability to execute each step in a dance clearly and completely.  \nClimax Sequential arrangement to achieve a key statement or intensity; the portion of the composition given primary emphasis or representing culmination; the most intense or highest point in the development or resolution of choreography.  \nCollage A choreographic form that consists of a series of movement phrases that are often unrelated but have been brought together to create a single dance with a beginning, middle, and end.  \nContrast Introduction of a theme or pattern different than the original that differs in a way that can serve to distinguish or intensify meaning.  \nConcentration The ability to focus on choreography and technical accuracy throughout a dance.  \nCreative Process The logical progression in the making of dance; choose topic, research the topic, identify important aspects of the topic, devise problems to be solved, ask questions, solve problems and produce material, design artwork, self-evaluate, revise, get and use feedback from performance (concept, investigation, exploration, selection, development, refinement, exhibition) .  \nCritique A written review analyzing all aspects of dance performance.  \nCulture(s) The shared ideas, beliefs, customs, and experiences of a given people at a given time.  \nDance Structured rhythmic mov","cbCait8ly6vGHSRH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCait8ly6vGHSRH","pdf",119558,"English","# Dance Glossary\n## Choreographic and compositional forms\n## Elements, qualities, and performance concepts\n## Skills, study, and creative process\n## Culture, health, and audience conventions","[{\"question\":\"What does “AB” and “ABA” mean in dance composition?\",\"answer\":\"AB is a two-part form with an A theme and a B theme, where each section is distinct but connected by shared character or quality.
