Developing movement skills

Large-muscle or gross-motor development. This type of development refers to the use of large-muscle groups in the legs (running) or arms (throwing). Small-muscle or fine-motor development This is also is included in the physical development of a child, and deals with such areas as smiling, picking up a fork or tying a shoe. Locomotor Movement Movement of the body from place to place is involved in locomotor movement. Physical abilities such as crawling, walking, hopping, jumping, running, leaping, galloping and skipping are examples of locomotor movement. This type of movement helps develop gross-motor skills. Nonlocomotor Movement Movement of the body while staying in one place is involved in nonlocomotor

movement. Physical abilities such as pushing, pulling, twisting, turning, wiggling,

sitting and rising are examples of nonlocomotor movement. This type of movement helps develop balance and coordination skills.

Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) is internationally acknowledged as an important building block for dance education

MOVEMENT FACTORS – Space, Weight, Time and Flow EFFORT FACTORS – the quality/dynamics of the movement; for instance fast, slow, strong, weak, sudden

r sustained. Together these factors form

the basis of all movement:

Space: Direct / Indirect
Weight: Strong / Light
Time: Sudden (or Quick) / Sustained
Flow: Bound / Free
