[Verse 1]
When you want to write down how bodies move and flow
There's software made to help you learn and grow
LabanWriter from Ohio State will be your friend
Notation symbols dancing from beginning to end
Click and drag the symbols, watch them come alive
Movement scores and sequences help your dance survive
[Chorus]
Software tools to capture every step
LabanWriter, Calaban, MovEngine prep
Write it down, play it back, see it move
Digital notation helps you find your groove
Three programs working hand in hand
Making Laban simple to understand
[Verse 2]
Calaban reads your symbols like a magic spell
Takes your written movement and performs it well
Animation flowing smooth across your screen
Shows you how the body moves in spaces in between
From paper into pixels, watch the dance unfold
Stories told through movement, new and ancient old
[Chorus]
Software tools to capture every step
LabanWriter, Calaban, MovEngine prep
Write it down, play it back, see it move
Digital notation helps you find your groove
Three programs working hand in hand
Making Laban simple to understand
[Bridge]
MovEngine drives the motion, calculations true
Physics meets the dance floor, bringing life to you
Weight and time and space and flow
All connected, watch them go
Technology and art unite
Making movement shine so bright
[Verse 3]
Start with LabanWriter, learn to place each mark
Calaban will show you movement light and dark
MovEngine keeps it real with natural motion laws
Three together teaching without any pause
From beginner steps to complex choreography
Software makes it simple, movement poetry
[Chorus]
Software tools to capture every step
LabanWriter, Calaban, MovEngine prep
Write it down, play it back, see it move
Digital notation helps you find your groove
Three programs working hand in hand
Making Laban simple to understand
[Outro]
Download, learn, and practice every day
Software makes the Laban notation way
Much easier to master, much easier to see
Movement writing digital, dance technology
