Starter Courses
This is one of three starter courses designed for people interested
in studying Benesh Movement Notation as a means of recording dance.
These courses cover essentially the same notation concepts but
differ in the movement vocabulary used to illustrate them: The
Introductory Study Course in BMN (1b) uses the notation in a variety
of dance contexts, Reading Course One (1a) and Distance Learning
Course One (1c) focus on the ballet vocabulary.

This course is for anyone interested in studying Benesh Movement
Notation as a means of recording ballet. It is particularly relevant

helpful as a means of increasing the fluency of their reading.

To provide teachers and students with a fundamental knowledge, understanding
