If dance is considered a non-verbal communication, this way of communication would be equally important as verbal or written words. An academic research of dance usually appears in writing. With the advancement of technologies and the accessibilities of internet devices, we now see research of dance in other forms such as film, spoken words, alone with written words. I propose the question "what could the forms of the research of dance be?" to further investigate the possibility of presenting an academic research of dance in the form of a dance. Or, what could the forms of the research of dance be?

Answer
Antonio Alves de Fontes-Junior Thank you for your answers. I have been aware of the above mentioned forms of dance research. However, I'm still searching for the possibility of Dance as a non-verbal communication to reveal or present the research by dancing. Yet I'll come to the paradox where I would have to dance without talking or typing any words.

Dear scholars,
I have a feeling that the discussion of traditional performing arts within Cultural Evolution is almost non-existent. Maybe because the nature of traditional dance is too complex? It seems that performing arts research falls mainly either within cultural and anthropology but never within Cultural Evolution. Is it because it is impossible to discuss? What are your thoughts?
Relevant answer
Answer
Traditional performing arts within cultural evolution was a big topic historically for the German schools of "comparative musicology" (including dance studies). You can find many of their books and articles in English, mostly from the 1890s-1950s. In recent years, there is a bit of a revival of the topic.

I'm an applied exercise physiologist in Bozeman, MT (USA), and I have a need to borrow or rent someone's Cosmed K5 portable metabolic system for several research projects in my lab. I've been using portable systems for the last 20+ years, but my current system (Oxycon Mobile) is unserviceable (i.e., can't get a replacement O2 cell, or SBx module, because of supposed pandemic-related shipping delays). As such, my lab has effectively been shut down for months and I'm hoping to complete a research project that was supposed to be completed already.
The Cosmed K5 seems to be only serviceable portable system in relatively common use in the USA so I'm hoping to borrow or rent a K5 from someone's lab or clinic. I can also offer the possibility of a research collaboration as part of K5 loan agreement.

Based on past experiences in Hungary and other central and eastern European countries, there appears to be an emphasis on nurturing an appreciation of culture (more than here in the U.S.). More specifically, the students seem to be more involved in and have a greater knowledge of the poetry, literature, folk lore, dance, music, etc. of their home country. I'm basing that on my personal experience in those countries and what I saw in the schools a number of years ago. However, I've done extensive searches of the actual curriculum and research publications in Hungary and other countries and can't find anything that says that there is an emphasis on things like traditional poetry, dance and so on in schools. Can any Hungarian educators weigh in?

I am looking to speak with people, or be put in touch with people, who have research or practise in differentiation of teaching methods in private dance studios. Below is an outline of what I am proposing to research. I can be emailed at julie.barns@gmail.com Many thanks in advance!
An education in dance relies on a teacher's pedagogical knowledge and artistic experience. It is important for studio dance teachers to acquire pedagogical knowledge alongside their wealth of technical and artistic knowledge allowing them to dissect, question and change their practice to be inclusive of all dancers in their studio classes.
Private dance studios are available to anyone who wishes to learn dance, regardless of age, gender or motivation (recreational or otherwise). The dance community need to ensure best practice in teaching to ensure these studios encompass all who walk through their doors.
Historically, for studio teachers in Australia, pedagogical knowledge has been gained through osmosis, and while a studio teacher may have excellent technical knowledge the process through which this information is imparted has created a divide in the dance studio between gifted dancers and children who wish to dance recreationally, but are ostracised from the studio learning and teaching process due to a range of learning needs that are not being catered to. What could have been a powerful ongoing experience in a child's life is lost due to a teacher's inability to differentiate their teaching practices in the dance studio.
Whilst very few children who learn dance in studios go on to become professional company dancers, children do go on to become consumers of The Arts and dance in particular. These children may go on to become dance teachers, physiotherapists, set designers, or volunteers in theatres. They go on to recognise and value dance as a powerful tool for self expression, for physical wellbeing, for good mental health and self worth, for community building and for creating a culture of inclusiveness.
The research proposed will greatly benefit recreational and elite studio teachers across Australia, with the flow on effect making a difference in the cognitive, emotional and physical lives of our children.

Social prescribing: coffee mornings, singing groups, and dance lessons on the NHS
BMJ 2018; 363 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.k4857 (Published 19 November 2018)
Relevant answer
Answer
Chris, I am a firm believer in social prescribing, though I don't have a battery of quantitative research statistics to support this. My own specialism is arts (specifically creative dance) and social wellbeing and I have tried to promote social prescribing in my area (south-east Scotland) with little success. In recent years I have tried to engage with local GPs, offering gentle creative movement (seated or standing) for patients whom they thought would benefit. As I am retired, I was offering these for free in return for data to write a paper and the local council supported me by giving me free accommodation. In the first trawl, I received zero response from GPs. In the second, I found one GP who was willing to "suggest" my classes to suitable patients. I also advertised locally but in a public advert I could not be specific about the participants I was aiming at, so I had a very disparate class, of which 50% really wanted something more active but were drawn to my class because it was free! Among those who said they did benefit were an amputee who seldom ventured out, someone with a chronic back problem and one with a shoulder problem. None of these were my target group but if they felt they benefited, that was justification enough for running the class.
I have since found two linked surgeries in your location, which share a community liaison officer to further the cause of social prescribing and am formulating a proposal to put to one of the local universities regarding a plan to promote the concept. Clearly I cannot be specific at this stage - I'm sure you will understand.
Now I am perfectly aware that social prescribing - through arts or in any other form - does not suit everyone, but if only one person benefits, there must be a saving of medical resources. May I suggest you look at some of the references on my profile page, e.g. Burns, Oliver & Karkou (2008), Oliver (2009), Oliver (2013), Karkou, Oliver & Lycouris (Eds) (2017)? If you are interested in further dialogue on the subject, since we are in the same geographical area, I can give you more information which I don't wish to put in the public domain just yet.

Your PhD topic is just what is needed, Sofia, giving clarity and justification for dance in education, especially creative dance.

Beste George,
Ik werk aan een vulkanische sectie (Van Waveren et al., 2018) waarin ik meestal een wetland flora vind, maar een maal tussen door in serie opeengestapelde lahars een overgang van een droge naar weer een nattere flora (die dus de flora van de bron van de lahars voorstelt)om uit eindelijk weer bij de third order lowstand (met zeer exacte isotopen dateringen) een nog drogere flora te vinden. Omdat het een vulkanische sectie is verbeeld ik mij dat de sediment toevoer constanter is dan in een volledig fluviatiel systeem waar de sediment load eigenlijk ook weer klimaat gerelateerd is. Ik verbeeld me dat higher order low stands within lower order lowstand maar zelden bewaard blijven, hoewel ik dat niet uit Coe et al. (2005) kan halen en ik vroeg me af of je me even kon bijpraten? Heb je een uurtje de tijd, of moet je op het ogenblik veel college geven?

Answer
Hi Arden, Are you thinking that in the tropics pluviosity (and hence discharge) and sediment load are negatively correlated? Maybe the role of the tropical forest is a bit more complex because in the Sedimentary Record of Sea-Level Change of Coe et al. (2005) deltas have thickest deposits at the high and transitional stage, and thin deposits at low and falling stages. I think a high stand rather correlates to warm/wet and a low stand to colder/xeric. The low and falling stage are often distal or basin deposits. I was simply hoping there was something about the preservation chances of these distal basin deposits. It seemed to me these have a lower chance of being preserved because of reworking through shelf currents or in the case of basin deposits (off the shelf) they are very rarely found in the sedimentary record. I was hoping for a paper on that. We palaeobotanist look at deposits that are often found proximally, on the shelf. Thank you for the brainstorm, Isabel

Dear Colleague.
I have a data set consist of 30 variables plus two identity information (subject's ID dan c=subject's group) from 56 respondents.
From those 30 variables, one is performance evaluation of respondents from their supervisors and the other 29 variables are results of self report filled by respondents about their personalities.
I have conducted a linear regression analysis to predict performance ("Mean_total") using 29 self report results as criterions.
For this size of data set (N=56), the critical r value (p=.05) is around .255+. Normally, for the same data set which consist same respondents, higher correllation coefficient (i.e R/r >.700) is accompanied by lower p value (p<.05 or p<.01) and vice versa.
Strangely, for my data set I got the opposite. When I ran linear regression analysis, I got a strange result, as follow.
1. On the linear regression analysis for all 30 items using ENTER method, I got larger R value (.722) but not/less significant (p=.530).
2. On the linear regression analysis for all 29 items (after eliminating item cso179r) using STEPWISE method, I got smaller R1 value (.271) but more significant (p=.044).
Looking forward for comment and enlightenment from dear colleagues.

Saya telah melakukan analisis regresi linier untuk memprediksi kinerja ("Mean_total") menggunakan 29 hasil laporan diri sebagai kriteria.
Untuk ukuran kumpulan data ini (N = 56), nilai r kritis (p = .05) adalah sekitar .255+. Biasanya, untuk kumpulan data yang sama yang terdiri dari responden yang sama, koefisien korelasi yang lebih tinggi (yaitu R / r> 0,700) disertai dengan nilai p yang lebih rendah (p <0,05 atau p <0,01) dan sebaliknya.
Anehnya, untuk kumpulan data saya, saya mendapat sebaliknya. Ketika saya menjalankan analisis regresi linier, saya mendapat hasil yang aneh, sebagai berikut.

Bagus -
Are you certain that you are reading your SPSS results correctly?  I haven't used SPSS in many years, but I'm not certain that what you have makes sense. 
First, you do want to use adjusted R, but even that can be misleading.  It may not give you a good idea of model performance.  Using graphical residual analysis with estimated residuals on the y-axis, and predicted y on the x-axis can help determine model fit, and saving test data not used to estimate regression coefficients can help you to avoid overfitting. 
Also, p-values are impacted by sample size, so you need to adjust the threshold accordingly.  In fact p-values  are usually not helpful.  And here, are you sure you are reading from the correct parts of the table?  These are p-values for what, one of the regression coefficients?  You are really interested in predictions, perhaps prediction intervals for predicted y values, not confidence intervals for each regression coefficient.  Because of interactons, such as collinearity, between "independent" variables, such confidence intervals aren't very stable anyway.  The estimated coefficients themselves may even change sign. 
I note that you are looking at "change," as in the change when one independent variable is added or deleted, which might be interesting, but I'm not sure if you are really reading p-values there.  I am more certain regarding the dubious usefulness of p-values. 
Your sample size appears to be rather small, unless you have small variances of prediction errors given such a sample size.  Note that the estimated variance of a prediction error is different for each predicted y, given the natural heteroscedasticity due to different sizes (predicted y) for each member of your population.  Because the estimated variance of the prediction error uses an estimated sigma which is impacted by bias, this estimated variance may be a good overall indicator of accuracy. 
....................
I suggest that you use your subject matter expertise to pick a few reasonable models, and use graphical residual analyses and test data to compare their performances. 
....................
You also should make certain that you are using the software correctly and reading the results correctly.  Perhaps you are doing that, but it might be good to check with an SPSS representative online and confirm this. 
As for the very low adjusted R-square values, they would usually be expected to be associated with large variances of prediction errors and regression fits which are not very good, but this is not straightforward.  Also, the perhaps low sample size can cause interpretation problems. 
Cheers - Jim

I am researching whether dance can be considered a language, and different languages effects on movement quality. i am interested in how dancing to spoken word, interpreting it affects dancers cognition, is it that we are listening to the rhythm of the words and sentences using our embodied movement vocabulary or is it that dancers are trying to interpret the spoken language in its literal meaning if they understand the spoken languages? Is it possible to translate spoken word with just movement and allow the audience to understand it without previous knowledge of the spoken languages? is it possible to understand spoken languages through movement only, even in its simplest context?
Relevant answer
Answer
Hello Karolina,
I've just happened on your discussion. We are always communicating through movement, intentionally or not aren't we? I work and dance a lot with people who don't have verbal language, so yes dancing, moving and touch is their language. I'm also interested in your ideas around being multi-lingual. It is not something I'd considered before, how speaking a different language changes the language of the body. However, since I moved to France 3 and a half years ago and observed my children become bilingual I am fascinated in how the tone of the body (as well as the voice of course), quality of movement and gestures change when they speak French. They quite literally become different people and I think respond differently to situations depending on whether they are 'in' English or French. You are probably experiencing that when you teach in different languages, are you teaching from a different place, attitude, orientation? I think it is more than just sound and rhythm etc....Just thoughts but I'm interested in your research...

This has given me valuable insight into the dancers' condition, and I gain pleasure from sharing the dance experience with the PD dancers: when we are dancing, we are all equal. We volunteers remain vigilant throughout, but are still allowed to enjoy the experience! As an older adult volunteer, I feel totally at ease with the dancers (although not all are as old as me). I hope it is mutual as we share the dance experience and chat over refreshments at the end.

Turing spoke of population dynamics. I would start with a cellular structure with 12 connections. Move on to development of awareness, Self, Other and Environment using multi-sensory inputs and a sematosensory cortex. You will need to dynamically encode, store, sort and delete memory. Your internal clock will be points, not intervals as explained by Oliver Sacks in the river of consciousness. Your synthetic must have time to incubate in a safe environment. Sacks was wrong about salience, it is dynamically selected. But emotion in evolution is generated by the dance of the sympathic and parasympathic nervous systems, not the CNS. Hope this helps.

I hypothesize that diamond lanes are a major factor in highway congestion. As a corollary it also contributes for additional undesirable / unproductive exhaust fumes.
Carpool-worthy vehicles entering the highway "force" their way into the leftmost diamond lanes, causing other vehicles to reduce their speed. The reverse is also true; vehicles traveling in car pool lanes wait until the last possible moment to exit and force their way out of the highway, again, causing other vehicles to reduce their speed.
As highway utilization increases, this diabolical dance worsens congestion and excessive fume exhaustion significantly.
I'm interested in discussing the matter with anyone who has studied and simulated it. I also, would love to collaborate in doing simulations, should this be possible.
Thanks in advance for your collaboration.

I am very confused because it is not very clear to me whether there is a dance between reflexivity and bracketing as Finaly(2008) suggests.Anyone with that eBook please send it to me?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dora, I don't have Finaly (2008) and the references on my bookshelves are probably a bit out of date (e.g. Ahern 1999) but still provide a useful foundation for understanding. In my view, the two are sequential. Given that your research topic has probably been derived from your own interest, reflexivity is almost bound to be built in - as soon as you have data to analyse, you will reflect on it in light of personal experience. You can never (I believe) be totally objective or unbiased because your own experience will colour your perceptions, but you then need to bracket off your own instinctive responses when you are interpreting the data further so that your findings are - as far as possible - based on your respondents' views, not your own. You can compare/contrast them as you wind up towards conclusion. I offer this based on my own experience and others might disagree - that's the nature of qualitative research! But that, to me, is what makes it vibrant and challenging.

How to coreograph dances from gesture corporals?
Relevant answer
Answer
Often called dance composition, choreography is the act of designing dance. From the semiotics perspective we can discuss the ways of choreographic significations. An appropriate approach can come from the area of social semiotics and multimodality (kinesic figures, postural configurations and categories as semiotic resources). The body can be regarded as a „expressive space” through which the individual can build cultural representations of social experiences.
You can also refer to The Philosophy of Dance in Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. There you can find the following references:
For an anthropological and semiotic approach to dance see Hanna 1987. For a phenomenological approach to dance see Albright 2011. For a phenomenological approach to dance, movement and thought that makes recourse to evolutionary biology see Sheets-Johnstone, 1981 and 1984. For a process philosophy approach to dance see Manning 2013. For more on the relation between philosophy and dance see Foster, Rothfield and Dunagan 2005, Sparshott 2004, and Van Camp 2009.

I want to know minimum sample size of the previous research for dance teachers' job stress using questionnaire, or if someone uses dance teacher as their participants in psychological area, how many participants they used for quantitative research? please offer me some suggestions or the journals' link, please! Thank you for your help.
Relevant answer
Answer
The population size for dance teachers will be much smaller, and very dependent on the university. Unless this is a national survey, I would try to sample every individual in the population. You then must decide if you are describing the extant population, or are trying to understand the population of teachers at universities that were not sampled, or the population of teachers who might be hired in the near future. This may be a very difficult project because your population may only be 10 to 20 teachers. Even if you get everyone, you will need to be careful about drawing conclusions.
So how do you identify the inherent stress associated with the job as opposed to the job stress caused by the unique composition of the faculty at the time you take the survey? Joe enjoys working with Mike but hates Bob who is a stupid moron and could not dance his way out of a wet paper sack. The social dynamic could enhance or diminish the stress inherent in the job. One possibility is to sample at multiple universities.

Jack, I have certainly heard of some children on the spectrum benefiting from karate or other more formalized movement disciplines. using dance for "therapy" to help improve in those areas  like dance and gymnastics, and karate helps so much in morale, especially when morale can be so difficult in other areas of life.  My own daughter, who didn't have autism, but had issues in motor skills when she was little, was in a gymnastics program at Easter Seals that took place in a regular gymnastics facility where other children were becoming athletes.  I think that setting became an important aspect to the success of that program.  Yes, there were children on the spectrum in her classes, but it was better for these classes to be conducted in a public facility rather than somewhere dedicated exclusively to children with special needs.  It gave them a way to feel proud of their accomplishments.
I also would be interested in seeing interdisciplinary approaches used to tie in issues in the biochemistry with any difficulties in movement.  I've dreamed of seeing some occupational and physical therapists formalizing evaluations in this sort of area...evaluating such things as stiffness, and vestibular function and even strength and muscle mass and speed.  I've seen what is possible at a gait clinic that deals mainly with people recovering from injuries or  from MS.  An autism center could develop formal standards  that later could be used to evaluate function for many adults with other developmental disorders.  But, for "treatment", the more normal setting (how people with no diagnosis build these skills), seems better overall.

Relevant answer
Joann, I am a bit confuse here: Creating a dance or Studying an existing dance group? If it is creating a new dance, you need to employ demonstrative approaches such as dance steps and body movements to match the sound rhythms (by drums, songs, or other musical instruments); but if you are studying an existing dance, first of all consider the duration of the research. If it is longer, you can combine both participatory  and non-participatory observation. Above all, I agree with Vaccaro that qualitative mode of inquiry is suitable for this kind of research. I also know that, some community dance in Africa demands initiation before joining. If it is so, you can decide how to go about it, particularly if their terms do not infringe on your belief or faith.

The most accurate measure would of course be transcripts from formal educational institutions-- grade school, high school, college, graduate school-- reflecting courses taken in the arts. Yearbooks of these various institutions show participation in extracurricular artistic activities. 
Another measurement could be questionnaires asking the respondent about participation in or attendance at museums and performances.  Such questionnaires could include questions on courses taken in the arts and extracurricular participation through attendance or performance.
