MODERN DANCE

The dancers stands with the head and the spine in alignment and the supporting foot turned

LATERALS

A torso twist that begins in the pelvis. As the body turns, each level is separately articulated all the way up the spine-pelvis, lower spine, mid-section, shoulders, neck, and head

SPIRAL

Is a very high jump in a split, but although both legs are parallel to the floor, the front leg is bent from the knee inward. Most often the arms are either thrust up in a V with palms facing out and down, or one-forward, one-to-the-side in a ninety-degree angle and palms down

STAG LEAP

The supporting knees is slightly bent; the other leg is up in the air and bent behind the body. The arm on the supporting side is thrust straight back with the palm down. The opposite arm is thrust cleanly forward with the palms down as the dancer turns around

STAG TURN

Is a hop that lands in a deep second-position plie- the feet are turned out heel to heel and the knees are bent

PRIMITIVE SQUAT

A series of moves but the basic movement makes a

"tabletop" of the body. The dancer strands in a second position- feet turned out heel-to-heel

FLAT BACK

The dancer balances on the balls of the feet, keeps a straight back and head, and sends the knees forward as the torso tilts back and the arms are held straight out in front.

HINGE

The action begins in the pelvis, and articulates up the spine as the breath is exhaled. The dancer aims to lengthen the space between each vertebra as the move progresses to the neck and the head, which are always in alignment with the spine.

CONTRACTION

This occurs upon inhalation and also begins in the pelvis. The move travels up the spine in the same order as the contraction, restoring the torso to a straight alignment. It typically counters the contraction.

RELEASE

An action that tilts the breastbone up rather than ending with the spine and upper body in an upright neutral position. The shoulder blades appear to rest on a bar or shelf. The head remains aligned with the spine and the rib cage remains over the hips. The lower back is not bent.
