This website talks about how symmetry and geometry are both very important as well as useful in ballet. Dancers use symmetry when spotting in a turn, without spotting dancers would become very dizzy and would fall over. Dancers can’t spin continuously because the human body has no rotational symmetry, so anyone who tried to spin continuously would lose their balance and fall. The website also talks about how dancers make shapes with their bodies, and that choreographers think about how they can use lines and angles to make their dances more appealing. It also explained that a system of notation for dance that can be manipulated like a math equation has been created by a choreographer named Rudolph Laban.

This is helpful to me because it gave me a lot of new information that other websites didn’t contain. This website taught me that there is a system of notation for dance, something I was unaware of prior to reading this. This is useful to me because it’s a topic I find interesting, and something I might want to do further research on. I also learned that when creating a dance choreographers use math to make it more interesting.
