The Warburg Dance Movement Library is a validated set of 234 video clips of dance movements for empirical research in the fields of cognitive science and neuroscience of action perception, affect perception and neuroaesthetics. The library contains two categories of video clips of dance movement sequences. Of each pair, one version of the movement sequence is emotionally expressive (Clip a), while the other version of the same sequence (Clip b) is not expressive but as technically correct as the expressive version (Clip a). We sought to complement previous dance video stimuli libraries. Facial information, colour and music have been removed, and each clip has been faded in and out. We equalised stimulus length (6 seconds, 8 counts in dance theory), the dancers’ clothing and video background and included both male and female dancers, and we controlled for technical correctness of movement execution. The Warburg Dance Movement Library contains both contemporary and ballet movements. Two online surveys ( N = 160) confirmed the classification into the two categories of expressivity. Four additional online surveys ( N = 80) provided beauty and liking ratings for each clip. A correlation matrix illustrates all variables of this norming study (technical correctness, expressivity, beauty, liking, luminance, motion energy).

Dance Movements

The purpose of the study was to describe and analyze the dance movements of the Philippine folk dance Itik-itik. The researchers adopted the movement analysis method similar to that of Mackenzie that involves the (1) description of the actual movements which occur at the joints involved; (2) the plane in which the movement occurs; and (3) the muscles producing the movement (agonist & antagonist). In addition, similar to the study of Martin and Miller, the researchers also had done a mechanical analysis on the lever type involved in the execution of the dance movement in terms of force, axis, and resistance. Results revealed that the prominent dance steps in the Philippine local dance Itik-itik are the (1) running, (2) cross step, slide close, slide close step, (3) heel, close-ball, close arm, (4) step, slide-close, slide, (5) arms extension/flexion, and (6) flapping of the arms. The joints involved are the shoulder and hip muscle which are ball and socket type of joints; and elbow, knee and ankle which are hinge joints. The major muscles involved in the dance for the lower body include the quadriceps, hamstring muscle group, adductor muscle group, calves and gluts. While for the upper body muscles involved are the pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, deltoid, trapezius, biceps, and triceps muscles. The type of lever used in performing the dance comprise majority of 1st class and 3rd class levers. By knowing the muscles involved in the dance the dance teacher may be able to devise activities to gradually prepare the prime mover muscles before the actual execution for injury prevention. Thus, the movements in the dance may improve the health and skill related fitness of the performers.

Women’S Preferences

Women's preferences for putative cues of genetic quality in men's voices, faces, bodies, and behavioral displays are stronger during the fertile phase of the ovulatory cycle. Here we show that ovulatory cycle-related changes in women's attractiveness perceptions of male features are also found with dance movements, especially those perceived as highly masculine. Dance movements of 79 British men were recorded with an optical motion-capture system whilst dancing to a basic rhythm. Virtual humanoid characters (avatars) were created and converted into 15-second video clips and rated by 37 women on masculinity. Another 23 women judged the attractiveness of the 10 dancers who scored highest and those 10 who scored lowest on masculinity once in days of high fertility and once in days of low fertility of their ovulatory cycle. High-masculine dancers were judged higher on attractiveness around ovulation than on other cycle days, whilst no such perceptual difference was found for low-masculine dancers. We suggest that women may gain fitness benefits from evolved preferences for masculinity cues they obtain from male dance movements.

Dance Movements

Despite references in the psychomotor literature regarding the use of rehearsal strategies in recovering movements from longer term memory, no significant difference between physical (overt) and mental (covert) rehearsal strategies for retrieving a complex dance movement over 30 min., 2 days, and 1 wk. were observed for 72 college women in beginning dance classes. Further, no rehearsal was as effective as either physical or mental rehearsal for retrieving dance movements for up to 1 wk. after original learning by these inexperienced dancers. The findings raise the possibility that other forms of retrieval than those already proposed are used to recover complex dance movements from longer term memory.

Guel dance was a traditional dance based on the history narrative of Gayo, District- inspired by the legend of the siblings Sengedaand BenerMerie who were looking for white elephants that to be presented to a princess. Therefore, some elements of the dance movements reflected the character of the elephant. Besides the aspect of form, every element of Guel dance movements also contained the philosophical values that contain moral messages and social values. Currently, Guel dance performances creations are increasingly present in the middle of the community, The forms of Guel dance creations sometimes leave the standard provisions as a standard form of the dance itself. This study aimed to describe the philosophical values of the Guel dance movement in Takengon, Aceh Tengah District, by using the theory approach of motion dance structure fromKaepleer. The method used in this study was descriptive interpretative approach, namely research directly related to the community (participatory observation)for data retrieval. This study concluded that the Guel dance was a traditional dance which has a standardize story structure and dance motion philosophy. It implied the moral teachings, religious teachings, Guel dance has a message about loyalty, responsibility, fraternity, and it is not only done by relatives or family nut must be done in relationship for others.

Motor Movements

This research is aimed at increasing rough motor on early childhood. At early childhood, There are a lot of developmental aspects that must be stimulated and one of this is the rough motor movement. Children’s rough motor movement is the ability of children in moving using big muscles. Nowadays there are schools that focused more on the smooth motor movement such as writing, cutting and others that is due to factors of parents and demands of calistung (reading, writing, and counting) to enter the basic education unit. Rough motor movements become abandoned, but researcher intended to increase children’s motor movement, not only in smooth motor movement but also rough motor movement. One of the activity to increase children’s rough motor movement is through dance activities for childrens. Through this dance movement, children’s rough motor movement can be stimulated and children is given varied instruction, not only doing basic movements such as jumping, running and others but the childrens are also able to perform other dance movements accompanied with music. Therefore children is not only learning but also able to recognize fun dance movements.

Dance Movements

Dance is a body activity that unites body movements, art and certain meanings. Dance performances are sometimes only performed at certain times, so that it is not well known by the public, especially young people today, especially classical dance. They are more interested in presenting a more modern culture because of the development of the times and more advanced technology. The lack of public knowledge about current dance moves has encouraged researchers to conduct motion capture research for dance movements using the Kinect sensor. This paper proposes a technique called mechanical motion capture to capture the motion of objects, namely the dance movement Golek Menak which is one of the classical dances in Indonesia. The proposed Kinect motion capture technique requires special input devices such as cameras with the ability to capture motion up to 2000 frames per second. Kinect has the facility of RGB camera and depth sensor (depth sensor). Kinect's advantages over other tools that can capture and track the movements or actions of threedimensional (3D) objects (humans and animals) accurately, without marking under certain lighting conditions by utilizing depth sensors. The results showed that the Kinect sensor was able to perform motion capture (MOCAP) techniques in dance movements accurately to produce the right body frame with the movement of dance props which subsequently developed the results in various fields, one of which was the development of motion characters for animation. The results of the synchronization of dance motion data and the capture of motion with motion capture then in this study were developed in the animation of dance movements

Customary and cultural values are an important part which may be found not only in daily routines, but also reflected in all actions, particularly in art. Women’s smooth characteristic in Minangkabau tradition is called siganjua lalai. This research needs to be conducted since some choreographers make princess dance using masculine movements. This research aims at studying and finding the basic concept of women’s dance movements according to the concept of siganjua lalai. This research employs qualitative and experimental methods with social approach of Minangkabau culture. Analyzed using interpretive qualitative techniques, the data are in the form of siganjua lalai dance movement concept, including the design of 1) space, 2) time and 3) energy. The experiment was conducted with students of Sendratasik Study Program, Faculty of Languages and Arts, Padang State University. Based on the research results, the basic patterns of siganjua lalai cover attitudes, leg and arm movements. The philosophy also considers the space, time, and energy. Therefore, the pattern design refers to the philosophy of siganjua lalai. The dance may be expressed in accordance with Minangkabau women’s characteristics in reflecting their cultural identity.

Direkomendasikan dilakukan remedial untuk kelompok yang belum mampu menguasai kompetensi eksplorasi gerak tari. AbstractThis Classroom Action Research aims to improve the understanding of students' concepts about the success of dance movement learning through the stimulus response method. The object of this study is class XI IPS 1. The basis of the use of this method is the consideration that it will be able to improve student competencies from only identifying dance movements to having the ability to explore dance movements through the stimulus response method. By using this stimulus response method students are trained to use creative and innovative abilities that are within themselves to be able to achieve productive levels in the form of exploring and producing dance movements. The action is carried out in two cycles, each of which consists of four stages, namely Planning, Implementation, Observation and Reflection. Observation and Reflection Results in cycle 1 indicate that two groups of four groups of students have been able to identify and compare dance movements, while the other two groups have only been able to identify dance movements. In the second cycle, the results of observation and reflection showed an increase in mastery in practicing and producing dance moves. All groups of students have been able to identify, compare, practice and explore dance moves. Even one group has been able to produce dance moves. Remedials are recommended for groups that have not been able to master dance movement exploration competencies.

Dance Identity

This article was created with the aim of seeing the extent of the identity of Riau Islands through the art of dance known in the community and trying to revive the identity of traditional dance through documentation of the dance movement itself. Thus, the problem in this research is focused on traditional dance movements that are indeed the identity of Riau Islands identifiers, namely malay dance movements. This research was conducted by exploring the roots of the dance from art actors directly through interviews and documenting them. Through the collection of dance movement information is then documented so that it can be seen or read by all people. So that traditional dance as the identity of Riau Islands is well documented. Based on the results of the rersponden assessment, 61% stated that knowing and knowing the traditional dance of Riau Islands, the rest stated that less knowing the traditional dance. Art performances can only be enjoyed on certain occasions. To overcome this, one way to bring traditional dance identity to life is to gather information related to traditional dances and document them in the form of photos, videos and books, increasing the frequency of dance performances.
