1. What is Movement? A movement is a motion, a change in position. 2. 2 types of Movement, define and give example. Aerobic Exercise: Aerobic training involves some type of continuous muscular activity with minimal resistance for 30 minutes or over, three to four times weekly. The intensity of the activity or exercise should be great enough to increase the heart rate by 70 to 85% of the individual’s maximum heart rate. Aerobic exercises include running, cycling, skiing, swimming and walking. Anaerobic Exercise: Anaerobic means "without oxygen." An anaerobic exercise is any exercise that requires short bursts of power, such as sprinting or weight lifting, which do not require a significant increase in oxygen delivery to the muscle. The ability to perform this type of work is dependent instead on energy sources stored in the muscle, because this energy supply is limited, anaerobic exercise can be sustained for only short periods of time. In reality, most exercise is a combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercise. The amount of each is dependent on how hard and fast the exercise proceeds. 3. Define choreography. – Choreography (literally "dance-writing" from the Greek words "χορεία" (circular dance, see chorea) and "γραφή" (writing), also known as "dance composition"), is the art of making structures in which movement occurs. The term composition may also refer to the navigation or connection of these movement structures. The resulting movement structure may also be referred to as the choreography. People who create choreographies are called choreographers. 4. Define Ballroom Dancing and Social Dancing. – Ballroom dance refers to a set of partner dances, which are enjoyed both socially and competitively around the globe. Its performance and entertainment aspects are also widely enjoyed on stage, in film, and on television. – While historically ballroom dance may refer to any form of formal social dancing as recreation, with the emergence of dancesport in modern times the term has become much narrower in scope, usually referring specifically to the International Standard and International Latin style dances (see dance categories below). In the United States, two additional variations—"American Smooth" and

"American Rhythm"—have also been popularized and are commonly recognized as styles of "ballroom dance".

–

Social dance is a major category or classification of danceforms or dance styles, where sociability and socializing are the primary focuses of the dancing.[1] Social dances can be danced with a variety of partners and still be lead and followed in a relaxed, easy atmosphere.[2]

–

Social dancing (Ballroom, Latin or Country & Western) is variously classified by its proponents as a hobby or pastime, leisure recreation or entertainment, an art form, or a sport. Dancers generally accept that "pastime" (def - any activity that makes time pass agreeably) or "recreation" (def - a means or activity to refresh one's body or mind) are apt descriptions, but hold firm in the belief that "art" and/or "sport" are more comprehensive and accurate descriptors.

5. DanceSport – Dancesport denotes competitive ballroom dancing at events that are sanctioned and regulated by dancesport organizations. 6. 2 styles of Dancesport – International Style of competitive ballroom (often referred to as Standard or Modern) dancinge ○

Within the international style of DanceSport are two categories of dances, Standard and Latin. In England (e.g., at the Blackpool Dance Festival), the categories are traditionally called "Ballroom" and "Latin American" dances, respectively. In the Standard dances, men typically wear coattails, vests, and bow ties, while women wear elegant and colorful gowns, often with sheer fabric draped from the shoulders or arms. Partners remain in closed position throughout the dance, and movements tend to be elegant and sweeping. The Latin dances are more overtly sensual, with skimpy costumes for women and tight-fitting ones for men. More variation in movement is allowed than in the Standard dances, so hip action and athletic maneuvers such as dips are common.  5 example:  Standard • Waltz • Tango

American style ○ The Smooth and Rhythm categories of American style DanceSport roughly correspond to the Standard and Latin categories of International style. In Smooth, dancers wear costumes similar to those worn by their counterparts in Standard; however, the dances themselves are significantly different as a result of influence by dancers like Fred Astaire and Arthur Murray in the years following World War II. While elegance and flow remain the goal, as in International Standard, dancers do not remain in closed position exclusively, instead breaking away from each other periodically and experimenting with open footwork. The Rhythm dances were also influenced by American dancers of the post-WWII era, but the differences between it and International Latin are more subtle. Costumes are similar, and while step patterns are not identical, movements are as free and explicitly sensual as in Latin.  Cha-Cha  Rumba  East Coast Swing  Bolero  Mambo 7.
