What is Language of Dance?

Language of Dance® is unique because it is the only approach to movement study that is based on the Movement Alphabet. These movement concepts are visually represented by symbols and are used to explore movement and dance.

Welcome to the Language of Dance® Centre

We aim to offer a unique approach to exploring, creating and recording dance and movement. We use the building blocks of movement; also called the Movement Alphabet® to explore how our bodies move and from this how dance can be formed.  Language of Dance is unique because it is the only approach to movement study and dance that is based on the Movement Alphabet.

Our mission is to make creative movement and the dance experience available to all.  We offer dance clubs, professional development, certification courses and resources used in the Language of Dance approach to movement and dance.

Our founder Dr Ann Hutchinson Guest, a world renowned expert in dance notation has built up an extensive collection of archives that document the work of Language of Dance Centre over the past 40 years.

We hope that you will find this website useful whether you are a teacher, dancer, student, dance notator, dance historian or just enjoy dance as a hobby.
