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.

The Dance Notation Bureau can only accept payment in U.S. dollars via PayPal, personal check, money order or wire transfer. International students should contact the DNB at dnbinfo@dancenotation.org to learn how to send their tuition by wire transfer. General questions about the correspondence courses should also be sent to dnbinfo@dancenotation.org.
