Guest Ashlee2 Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Does anyone know of any Universities that offer Labanotation that are near New England, or the East Coast. I am beginning to look at colleges and I don't want to go too far from home. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment

I am beginning to look at colleges and I don't want to go too far from home. Any information would be greatly appreciated. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dear Ashlee, I am a graduate of SUNY Brockport College in upstate NY. I was a Dance Major there... and there were at least two classes (when i was going there about 8 years ago) that were in Laban. I took them. Brockport has a respected dance degree... worth checking out, at least. I will say this, it's very 'modern' based though. Good luck to you!! ps... i wasn't registered till tonight, just so i could answer YOUR post! ;) Take Care ~Missy Quote Link to comment
Dance_Scholar_London Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 The Dance Notation Bureau does offer correspondence courses in labanotation in case that your college does not offer it. I dont know this organisation but other institution such as RAD do also have dance notation courses by correspondence It is certainly worth studying it. In case you want to go for a Phd in Dance at some point you can replace 1 foreign language requirement with dance notation (for example at UC Riverside) Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 RAD's preferred notation, though, is Benesh, which is quite different from Labanotation. Quote Link to comment
Dance_Scholar_London Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 I know but both institution provide dance notation courses by correspondence. I was referring to dance notation in general and not to a specific method. I think the Laban Centre does offer correspondence courses as well :-) Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 I believe that you're right. Actually, I prefer Benesh to Laban when it comes to ballet. It just seems better suited to the discipline! Quote Link to comment
Dance_Scholar_London Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 I have done some elementary labanotation but I dont know much about Benesh. The RAD correspondence course is very expensive, and IMO overpriced. Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 In the US and Canada, it's actually not too bad*, and is often accompanied by lectures and tutorials at RAD training course meetings. *That is, not out-of-line with other distance learning courses for everything from university-level English Literature to Calculus.

Guest grace Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 dance notation bureau should definitely be your source of information for labanotation courses, ashlee. good luck! Quote Link to comment
Dance_Scholar_London Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Did you take a course with them Grace? I have made good experience with US distance learning course but havent tried out a dance notation course via correspondence Quote Link to comment
