| description | It is important that scholars not only research African dance culture but that we find new ways to gather information. It is a formidable task but one that must be undertaken if we are to ever document as many of the dances as possible to increase out knowledge and expand our appreciation of African dance (Glendoal Yhema Mills, 1996). The full use of Benesh Movement Notation in recording African dance is long overdue. This syllabus is a notation handbook to be used in the African dance notation lectures by students majoring in African dance. It comprehensively constitutes the most important aspects of Benesh Movement Notation (BMN) affecting African dance notation at a beginners level. It will therefore serve as the introduction and hopefully an inspiration to a much more involved study of BMN. |
