Jazz Movements
According to Sporre, "the compositional elements of line, form and repetition apply to the use of the human body in exactly the same sense that they apply to painting and sculpture the latter especially" (Sporre-182). A dancer’s body becomes a sculpture in motion moving from pose to pose. Dancers move continuous through time while basic repetition becomes an important part of how choreographers combine dances (prenhall.com). "The relationship of the movements to each other as the dance progresses shows us a reputational pattern that is very similar to theme and variation in music"(Sporre-183). "Choreographers plan these patterns using individual dancers' bodies as well as combinations of dancers in duets, trios, or the entire corps de ballet"(Sporre-183).
