This was so needed for me... To not have any dance training or education... But being gifted with the ability to dance and choreograph dance pieces on any level... It is really difficult and a little uncomfortable to be able to perform, visualize, or complete a dance movement but not know what it is called or how to explain it to someone you are teaching... This video is gonna make things much easier... Thanks

A lot of those jumps and ballet-esque moves are things I just naturally learned dancing alone at home, when no one is watching so I don’t feel silly.

dancedeja

@Seneka Abeyratne Thank you for sharing, I will be sure to check out this director.

Seneka Abeyratne

@dancedeja Berlin State Ballet artistic director Nacho Duato is one of my favorite modern dance choreographers. Love his ballet White Darkness.

dancedeja

@Seneka Abeyratne gotcha, gotcha. Do you have a favorite performer of company that is worth checking out? One of favorite contemporary dance companies has been Complexions Contemporary Ballet. Very good work and great music selections for the dancing. 🎶

Seneka Abeyratne

@dancedeja classical-contemporary

dancedeja

Thank you Seneka Abeyratne. Modern dance is so unique, and there could easily be a video compilation for each technical style. What is your favorite branch of modern dance?

Love the resource idea, your effort and quality. However, be careful you are presenting correct terminology. That was a compass turn, not a pencil turn. And those are not Graham Hops, those are Sparkles.

ForEvelyner

1y↑1

I learned it as pencil turns. Many studios have different names❤️

Valerie Winborne

Sparkles is a studio term and not used in the professional modern world.

emmaree

1y↑4

There’s different terminology around the world! I learned “pencil turns” and something completely different from “Graham Hops AND Sparkles” every name is both correct and incorrect.

Nicole Turner

1y↑1

work talking about those dance moves are called “Sparkles”. Like that’s fine if you want to call them that but don’t frame it from a point of technicality. Leave the microagressions in the drafts 🫶🏾
