Editing Labanotation (section)

===Motif notation===
[[Motif description]], or the preferred term 'Motif notation', is closely related to Labanotation in its use of the same family of symbols and terminology. Labanotation is used for a literal, detailed description of movement so it can be reproduced as it was created or performed.  In contrast, Motif Notation highlights core elements and leitmotifs depicting the overall structure or essential elements of a movement sequence.  It can be used to set a structure for dance improvisation or for an educational exploration of movement concepts.  Not limited to dance, Motif Notation can be used to direct one's focus when learning to swing a golf club, the primary features of a character in a play, or the intent of a person's movement in a therapy session.
