ELEMENTARY AND INTERMEDIATE LABANOTATION Correspondence Courses
in Labanotation
Correspondence
courses are offered by the DNB at the elementary and intermediate Labanotation
theory levels and may be started at any time.
The elementary course, consisting of ten lessons, covers the fundamentals
of the system: stepping, arm and leg gestures, jumping, turning,
circling, floor plans and repeat signs. The intermediate level course
includes more advanced reading and a greater emphasis on writing.
The ten lessons cover parts of limbs, touch, slide and brush, torso
tilting, bending and twisting, kneeling, sitting, and floor work.
The fee for each course includes a tutorial service whereby the student
submits, by mail, the specific homework assignment for each lesson to
an assigned tutor who corrects the work and answers questions. The fee
also includes assignment sheets, a certifying exam, and a certificate
(if earned). However,
the fee does not include required
texts and tapes. The tutorial service is good for one full year, which
begins upon receipt of the first lesson.

Dance Notation Bureau can only accept payment in U.S. dollars via PayPal,
