The elements of dance: space, time & rhythm, relationships and dynamics, are the tools employed by the dance composer or choreographer to communicate his/her idea, or ideas to an audience. ... It is this process that allows for the communication of themes in dance and other sports/performances.
The term dynamics, as an element of dance generally refers to the level of energy or force and the way that energy or force is applied to and withdrawn from the body over time, to commence, continue, and stop movement. ... This patterned interaction of force and time, which helps to establish the quality of the movement, is also manipulated by the composer or choreographer to shape the phrase and indeed the whole dance or work to communicate their theme. ...
Example: a dancer communicates the idea for the dance through the correct placement of the opening shape in the space. ... The elements of dance are further developed in consecutive phrases.
