Elements of Choreography
1. Body – A dancer’s important medium is the different parts of the body
such as the arms and head in creating forms, lines and shapes to
express emotions.
2. Action/Movement – This is any movement or action of a dancer like
facial expressions, gestures, and pauses. It can be done in one place
or done as the body moves through space, locomotor or non
locomotor. Examples are stepping, walking and jumping.
3. Time – It refers to a dance’s rhythm, pulse, speed, and cut short of
movements. A dance performance has its beginning and end.
Example: use of slow, quick, quick and slow movements
4. Energy – It describes how a dancer is moving. It helps the audience to
identify the emotions and intentions of a dancer. For example, a dancer
may move forcefully, gracefully, softy, smoothly or energetically.

Energy includes the following:

 Force – This is the power in which a dancer performs a routine.
Example: strong to light movement
 Flow – This is the energy used by the dancer to perform a
movement. Example: controlled movement or free movement

 Level – Movements can be performed at different levels. As the level of
movement changes, the body creates different effects.

Elements of Choreography that Add Complexity

1. Repetition – This is repeating the steps or patterns and movements.

2. Transitions – These are movements that connect a step to another step.
3. Contrast – It is the use of different steps or patterns.
4. Sequence – This refers to the flow or order of steps or patterns in a
dance.

Things to Consider in a Stage Performance

2. Execute properly the movements.
3. Use rhythm to change movements, when meant to be fast or slow.

Tanauan, Batangas. This was founded in the year 2008 as a hiphop boy group who
participated in several dance competitions in their hometown and other nearby
places. They joined the Pilipinas Got Talent and decided to do shadow play since
hip hop dancing is very common. For the new venture, they had undergone a lot of
practice since they didn’t have the equipment needed. But their determination
and hard work paid off when they were judged as the first shadow play group to
advance in the grand finals because of their outstanding performance during the
semifinals. They emerged as the fourth placer in the said talent show which
opened a lot of opportunities to them. They also became regular guests in the
noontime show, It’s Showtime!

audition at the SMX Convention Center in Mall of Asia and had luckily
advanced to the televised audition held in Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia
Studio in Johor, Malaysia. They eventually advanced to the Semifinals after
receiving the golden buzzer from judge Anggun, an Indonesian artist. Their
performance in the SemiFinal earned another golden buzzer from the four
judges, enabling them to automatically take a spot in the grand finals. They
emerged as the first “Asia’s Got Talent” Grand Winner.

The sounds of bamboo instruments
All musical instruments create sound by causing matter to vibrate.
The vibrations start sound waves moving through the air. Most musical
instruments use resonance to amplify the sound waves and make the
sounds louder. Resonance occurs when an object vibrates in response to
sound waves of a certain frequency.
