In your reading, Nora Ambrosio identifies and describes the choreographic elements of dance. She mentions space (shape/line, level, direction, focus, points on the stage, etc.), time (speed/tempo, pulse underlying beat, rhythmic pattern, etc.), and energy (dynamics and qualities). Body and action are two additional and necessary components of any dance.
