The intent of the glossary is to promote consistent terminology when creating curriculum and assessment documents as well as communicating with stakeholders.  \nAB: This two-part compositional form has two themes, an “A” theme and a “B” theme. This binary form consists of two distinct, self-contained sections that share either a character or quality, such as tempo, movement quality, or style.  \nABA: This ternary or three-part compositional form has a main theme “A”, then a contrasting second section “B,” and finally a third section that is a recapitulation of the first theme “A” in a condensed, abbreviated, or extended form.  \nabstract: This refers to choreography without a narrative. An abstract dance does not tell a story or express any kind of feelings or ideas other than movement itself.  \naesthetic: The essential components or characteristics ofa dance that can be used as a frame of reference when making judgments about the merit ofa dance work or dancer.  \nalignment: In dance training, it is the process of adjusting the skeletal and muscular system to  \ngravity to support effective functionality (also see: functional alignment) .  \nalternative performance venue: A performance site other than a standard Western-style theater (for example, classroom, site-specific venue, or natural environment) .  \nanatomical principle: The way the human body’s skeletal, muscular, and vascular systems work separately and in coordination.  \nartistic criteria: Aspects of craft and skill used to fulfill artistic intent.  \nartistic expression: The manifestations of artistic intent though dance, drama music, poetry, fiction, painting, sculpture, or other artistic media. In dance, this involves the choreography and the dancers within a context.  \nartistic intent: The choreographer’s purpose or intention for creating a dance work.  \nartistic statement: An artist’s verbal or written introduction of their work from their own perspective to convey the deeper meaning or purpose.  \nbody patterning: Neuromuscular patterns (for example, core-distal, head-tail, homologous [upper-lower], homo-lateral [same-side], cross-lateral [crossing the body midline]) .  \nbody-mind principle: Concepts explored or employed to support body-mind connections (for example, breath, awareness of the environment, grounding, movement initiation, use of imagery, intention, inner-outer, stability-mobility) .  \nbound movement: An “effort element” in which energy flow is constricted.  \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.  \ncapstone project: A culminating performance-based assessment that determines what 12thgraders should know and be able to do in various educational disciplines; usually based on research and the development of a major product or project that is an extension of the research.  \nchoreography: The process of creating movement sequences for dancers; it can also describe specific dance work.  \nchoreographic devices: Manipulation of dance movement, sequences, or phrases using tools like repetition, inversion, canon, retrograde, call and response, or chance.  \ncodified movement: Common movements set in a particular style that often have specific names and expectations associated with it.  \ncontext cues: Information obtained from the observation of a dance that helps one understand or comprehend meaning from a movement, group of movements, or a dance as a whole.  \ncontrapuntal: An adjective that describes the noun, counterpoint. In dance, it describes at least two movement patterns, sequences or phrases danced simultaneously using different body parts or performed by different dancers.  \ncultural movement practice: Physical movements ofa dance that are associated with a particular country, community, or people.  \ndan","cbCaie6F1uzOKuE1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie6F1uzOKuE1","pdf",752679,"English","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Dance Glossary?\",\"answer\":\"The glossary promotes consistent dance terminology when creating curriculum and assessment documents and when communicating with stakeholders.\"},{\"question\":\"What do AB and ABA mean in dance composition?\",\"answer\":\"AB is a two-part compositional form with an “A” theme and a “B” theme.
