Communicating with Dancers: Dance Terminology

Saturday, February 13, 2027

4:00 PM - 5:15 PM

Sandhill Crane

Effective communication with dancers starts with understanding their language. In this session, Jessica Garrett and Alexa Cuclasure will introduce photographers to the essential dance terminology needed to communicate confidently and accurately during sessions. You’ll learn the names of common positions, movements, and poses so you can give clearer direction, build trust with your dancers, and create more intentional images. Attendees will receive an illustrated PDF reference guide featuring common poses and their corresponding terminology to use long after the class.
