basic anatomy and kinesiology term
muscles connected to bones though connective tissue
what is tendons and ligaments
important muscles for dancers
core, psoas, glutes, rotator cuff, scapular muscles and feet
an effective warmup
increase in body temp, HR, circulation, breathing
any position you are in (laying down, standing) stacking joints
what are the 5 concepts
body, space, time, force/effort, movement
muscle work (going against gravity)
what is concentric
3 big elements of fitness
muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, cv endurance
continued from above
activates muscles and mobilizes joints, psychological prep
what is alignment
how weight is transferred while moving (center of a joint)
elements of concept 1
gesture (isolated body part is moving), posture (whole body movement), initiation (which part starts first), sequencing (order of movements)
going with gravity
what is eccentric
important muscles for flexibility
psoas and lower back
a cool down
starts the recovery, HR goes down, reduces soreness and tension, psychological effect
benefits
breathing, CV health, psychological, digestion and waste elimination
elements of concept 2
place (where it takes place no locomotor) spatial design (how your body is moving through space, curved straight, twisted) direction (length, breadth, depth)
staying stable in a movement
what is isometric
examples of a warm up
walking, jogging, dynamic movements
elements of concept 3 and 4
speed, rhythm (pulse pattern breath) duration, 4 weight/pressure, flow (free or bound), focus (single or multi where your looking physical or emotional) and energy
toward the front, back, away and close to the midline
anterior, posterior, lateral and medial
examples of a cool down
dynamic and static stretching, breathing
concept 5
(not part of laban) locomotor (walk run leap jump or hop combo gallop (step leap) and skip (step hop) non locomotor (does not travel) bend, twist, swing, push pull fall melt
