Welcome to this online resource for dance educators, students, and teaching artists! The Elements of Dance are the foundational concepts and vocabulary that help students develop movement skills and understand dance as an artistic practice. The acronym BASTE helps students remember the elements:
1 As a group: Analyze the use of energy in this dance. 2  Use Critical Response or another reflective tool to delve into the dance and speculate about how energy and other elements convey meaning. 3  On your own: Use the Energy Analysis Tool with the first minute of this dance.nergy may change in an instant, and several types of energy may be concurrently in play.Saying that a dance has a lot of energy is misleading. ALL dances use the element of energy, though in some instances it may be slow, supple, indirect energy-not the punchy, high speed energy of a fast tempo dance.
