Dance 6-12 Content Exam Section 1
(Elements and Skills) fully solved
Anatomy - correct answer ✔✔ the sciences of body structure
Physiology - correct answer ✔✔ the sciences of body function
Kinesiology - correct answer ✔✔ sciences of the body in motion
Arch - correct answer ✔✔ the strongest known structure of the body, runs longitudinally from
toes to heel and transversely from the inside to the outside edge of the foot
Neuromuscular system - correct answer ✔✔ initiates impulses in the brain, transmitting them
via the nerves to the muscles which contract and release to produce motion or to maintain a
position in space
Connective tissues - correct answer ✔✔ knit together the skeletal and muscular systems
Tendons - correct answer ✔✔ connect bones to muscles
Ligaments - correct answer ✔✔ connect bones to bone
fascia - correct answer ✔✔ creates a flexible net around muscles, nerves and blood vessels to
provide support
, Ectomorph - correct answer ✔✔ a person with a lean body with enhanced flexibility due to a
lack of muscular strength and loose connective tissues, exhibits exceptional range of motion and
quickness in movement but lacks strength and endurance
mesomorph - correct answer ✔✔ has a sturdy body with strong dense musculature and
connective tissues resulting in good posture, metabolism and energy levels are high and the
cardiovascular system is extremely efficient. result in great strength and endurance but a lack of
flexibility
Endomorph - correct answer ✔✔ rounded body type, functioning of the muscular and
cardiovascular systems is adequate, the neurological system functions somewhat slowly,
capabilities for strength, endurance, and flexibility are normal but the extreme inefficiency of
the digestive system, low thyroid, functioning and low metabolism often result in excessive
weight gain
Movement Qualities - correct answer ✔✔ the forces that act upon the execution of any given
movement - these forces include time, space, weight, and flow
Energy - correct answer ✔✔ the animating factor that overcomes stasis or gravity to initiate or
affect movement in a body
force - correct answer ✔✔ the amount of energy applied in a movement and ranges in intensity
from gentle to strong
dynamics - correct answer ✔✔ the interaction of force and time which results in movement
that imparts an impression to the viewer
Spatial tension - correct answer ✔✔ arrangement of solid elements (body parts, dancers, and
even props) in such a way that the space between them becomes noticeable
