[Verse 1]
In the body column we write it down
Three movements that your torso makes
When you tilt your spine straight but leaning
Like a tower in the wind that never breaks
Keep it rigid as you lean left or right
Forward, backward, diagonal too
Special symbols mark each direction
Now your notation's coming through
[Chorus]
Tilt and twist and curve around
Body movements written down
Labanotation shows the way
How your torso moves today
Tilt stays straight, twist turns around
Curves will bend, spine up and down
Three movements in the body column
Dance notation, here's the knowledge
[Verse 2]
Rotation means your torso's turning
Spinning round that vertical line
Left and right around your center
Twist your waist, the movement's fine
Keep your head above your hips now
Turn around that axis tall
Special symbols show rotation
Mark the twist for one and all
[Chorus]
Tilt and twist and curve around
Body movements written down
Labanotation shows the way
How your torso moves today
Tilt stays straight, twist turns around
Curves will bend, spine up and down
Three movements in the body column
Dance notation, here's the knowledge
[Bridge]
Curves and contractions bend your spine
Flexion forward, extension back
Lateral bending to the side
Every curve that notation tracks
Forward fold or backward arch
Side to side your spine can bend
Symbols capture every movement
Every curve from start to end
[Chorus]
Tilt and twist and curve around
Body movements written down
Labanotation shows the way
How your torso moves today
Tilt stays straight, twist turns around
Curves will bend, spine up and down
Three movements in the body column
Dance notation, here's the knowledge
[Outro]
Body column holds them all
Tilt and twist and curve so tall
Three movements, symbols clear
Labanotation's always here
