The Dance Notation Bureau

The Dance Notation Bureau is an organization dedicated to preserving and documenting dance choreography through specialized systems like Labanotation and Benesh Movement Notation. These systems provide a written record of a dance’s movement, timing, and placement, allowing choreographers and dancers to accurately reproduce and archive performances for future generations. By standardizing dance notation, the Bureau helps ensure that intricate dance works remain accessible and reproducible over time, facilitating preservation, research, and education within the dance community.
