Energy- energy helps describe how the dancer is moving. Anything that can be touched- as positive space. For negative space to exist it has to be created by positive space. Time sequences dance, dance exists over the course of time. Space time energy- you cannot change one of these without changing the other two. Flow is how you constrict and release your energy. Style- uses those overarching rules but in a particular way. The only type of dance that needs an audience is an artistic theatrical dance. Knowledge: awareness and transmission of culture consciously and unconsciously. Dance is rhythmic and sequenced movement of 3d body through space with energy and expression.
