Abstract: In writing this paper, we-Jill Crosby and Ann Dils-render into text six years of sporadic
dialogues. Through our explanation and examination of the 1994 movement analysis and
description project that began our exchanges and discussion of subsequent readings, we hope
to explore important aspects of dance studies research. Our use and understanding of Labanbased
movement analysis as a tool for understanding movement as it is felt and observed,
awareness of concepts of dialogue and the dialogical process as potential frameworks, critical
lenses, and theoretical bases for dance studies research, and adaptation of the interpretive paradigm
to suit dance research are especially important to this exploration.1 Little of our text is
written in dialogue form (Crosby:, Dils:); rather, we hope, by drawing examples from our project,
Crosby's dissertation, and the works of other researchers, to capture the bubbling-up of
understanding that stems from the cooperative and confrontational exchanges of dance studies
research.
