24
Q
kinesphere
A
the furthest point your limbs can reach to in the space surrounding the body
25
plane
transverse/sagittal/frontal
26
medium
Uses larger body parts or around half of the body but may not fully extend
27
small
Using smaller body parts eg. rolling wrists, clicking fingers. Often provides detail to movement.
28
large
Uses the whole body and full extension of the kinesphere
29
horizontal/transverse
Rotation/twisting
30
sagittal
Flexion/extension, forward and backwards
31
frontal
Lateral movement, abbduction (away from midline), Adduction (towards midline)
32
floor pattern
refers to the trail that you leave behind you on the floor as you move. It requires travelling and can be straight, curved, circular, zig zag, random
33
pathway
refers to the trail that you leave behind you in the air as you move. It can be straight, curved, circular, zig zag, random
34
Abduction
Moving limb away from the midline of the body
35
Adduction
Moving limb towards the midline of the body
36
Flexion
To bend a joint or decrease the angle at a joint
37
Extension
To lengthen or increase the angle at a joint
38
Dorsi Flexion
The ankle joint is flexed (flexed foot)
39
Plantar Flexion
The ankle joint is extended (pointed foot)
40
Pronation
Eversion of the foot where the foot rolls inwards (may have knock knees as a result)
41
Supination
Inversion of the foot where the foot rolls outwards (may have bowlegs as
a result)
42
Jazz is
exciting, upbeat, sharp, high energy, sass, enjoyable expression, rhythmic, fun, bright, enthusiasm, attitude, show, performance, confident, shaped, synchronised, accented, smooth, beat, props
43
If you get a elements of space question
how have you used elements of space? I used shape. For example i....
44
5 major properties
1) excitable or irritable
2) contractible
3)extensible
4)Elasticity
5) Adaptability
45
5 types of movements
adduction, abduction, flexion, extension, rotation
46
3 types of muscles
Cardiac Muscle - involuntary
Skeletal Muscle - voluntary
Visceral/Smooth Muscles - involuntary
47
Tendons
attach muscle to bone
48
fascia
attach muscle to muscle
49
nervous system is essential to
voluntary skeletal muscles
50
quadriceps
extend the knee, hip flexion, knee extension
51
Quadriceps and Hamstrings work together to move your leg -
when the leg bends the quads relax and the hamstrings contract
52
exercises for quadriceps
kicks, squats, lunges
53
popliteus
unlocks the straight knee, active during a plie, squat
54
rectus femoris, underneath
intermedius muscle
55
Sartorius
seatbelt
56
vastus lateralis
outside
57
vastus intermedius
middle of both
58
vastus medialis
middle
59
gastrocnemius
releves and jumps
60
Plantar Flexion uses
gastrocnemius and soleus
61
soleus
shock absorption releves and jumps
62
Dorsiflexion uses
Tibilalis Anterior
63
Tibialis anterior
inversion
64
The 3 Hamstrings are
bicep femoris
semitendinosus
semimembranosus
65
Exercises for feet
point, flex, rises
66
Functions of the intrinsic muscles of the feet:
holds foot on the floor
propulsion
maintain foot arches
67
The plumb line is the way dancers measure
alignment
68
The plumb line goes :
center of ear lobe
center of the shoulder
center of the hip
midline of the knee joint
center of the arch of the foot
69
The plumb line is for
stability and control
line of gravity
70
center of gravity is where
most weight accumulates e.g. pelvis
71
Alignment is the relationship of
the skeleton to the base of support and line of gravity (plumb line)
72
Alignment is for
balance, safely, efficiently, aesthetically pleasing.
73
Principles of Alignment
- hip, knee and ankle should always be in equal rotation
- Mandible (jaw) paralel to the floor
- posture string to head
- pelvis should not be posteriorly tilt or anteriorly tilt
