Dance Notation Bureau

The Dance Notation Bureau is an organization dedicated to preserving and sharing dance choreography through specialized recording methods. It uses systems like Labanotation and Motif Notation to transcribe dance movements onto paper, allowing choreographers to document, analyze, and revitalize dances accurately. This preserves important works for future generations and facilitates the study and reconstruction of performances. Essentially, the Bureau acts as a bridge between dance creation and long-term preservation, ensuring that intricate movement sequences are accurately captured and accessible beyond the original performance.
