Monica Mason - Benesh Notation

I think the Benesh Notation is written on a music stave and it' s simple in as much as the bottom line of the stave is the feet, the second line is the knees, the third is the waist and then the shoulders and then the top of the head. And of course it' s run along with the music, so a bar of dance is written with a bar of music. But of course it varies; because sometimes what happens in a bar is very complex so the bar obviously extends. If you were to look at it you would see some rather strange little dashes and curves. These lines that are drawn on the stave are impossible for someone just to look at and understand. Just as if you looked at music and you didn' t read music you wouldn' t have a clue what it was about, so it is with dance notation.
