How does someone learn to >be a sign dancer, even the complicated way? SIGN-DANCING Ha! Great question, Angus! This really made me giggle ;-))) Hmmm...sign-dancing can mean different things to different people. There is sign-dancing from the "signer's perspective", which is "Sign Language -with- a- little dance"... .....and from the professional dancer's perspective - sign-dancing would be professional dance choreography first and foremost with some signing inside the complex full body movements.... Two very different worlds. I have seen both...I actually do not know which Vicki meant - but I would assume the former...there are not many people who are professional dancers, but a lot of people like to sign songs with some extra flowing movement - Either way, all the movements can be written from head to toe, in DanceWriting and SignWriting combined...If they roll on the floor while they are signing, we can write it! As far as how to learn to sign-dance - I have no idea...are there classes? smile -- Val ;-) Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org SignWriting List Archives: https://groups.yahoo.com/group/sw-l/ To post a message to the SW List: |
