Step 1:
Choose to describe
EITHER
the dance from Bali or Colombia. It does not matter to me which dance you choose,
but I suggest choosing the dance in which you are most interested. Begin by dividing a piece of paper into sections based
on the elements of dance: body, action, space, time, and energy. Go to the appropriate video clip and watch the dance
several times, taking notes in the different sections as you do so.

Helpful hint:
Notice if you don’t have many details in one section, re-watch the video, and add in any details you notice.
Are there any key moments that stand out to you that you can elaborate on in more detail? Try doing the movement on
your own. Yep, get up and do it! Use the Elements of Dance reading and your class notes to help you.
Step 2:
When you are finished viewing your dance, write the first draft of your descriptive essay.
WARNING:
Although you used the elements of dance: body, action, time, space, and energy to help you think about
how to write your description; the essay should NOT be written with the first paragraph about the body and the second
about time etcetera. The elements of dance are a useful tool for helping you notice details but once you have taken
notes write your essay so that it flows as organically as the dance.
Step 3:
Edit your work.
Imagine that I have never seen this dance before, so it is your job to describe it as vividly and
clearly as you can so that I can picture it.
Think about using specific language to make your description very clear. If
someone is turning, is he/she turning close to the ground or elevated? Are they spinning quickly or suspending through
multiple turns? Does the movement travel through space? If so, what pathways are used and what formations?
Step 4:
Edit your work again. Notice any grammatical or spelling errors. If possible, get someone unfamiliar with the
assignment to read it and see if it makes sense to them.
