The query would probably include choreographic notation. The choreographers I've met were pretty strict and had their own language set.

Is there a notation for writing down dances?
Labanotation, is the formal name for it. [link]
Named after a guy called Laban, I assume; and it's basically a system designed to capture movement in 3 axes, plus time, based on the human form. I have no idea how to do it, but I did read an article once where a labanotationist analyzed a video of the Dog Whisperer and said he'd be a really good dancer.

Up later than usual tonight because I attended a city council meeting that went from 6:00 - 10:30 discussing building guidelines proposed for my neighborhood. It is a divisive issue here. I loved that a number of my neighbors that took the microphone indicated that they didn't want the fact that we disagreed to keep us from enjoying drinks together in our block parties. It reminded me of us. Alas, I will miss the final council vote on the 17th, but the members were all on my side so it should work out.

Is there a notation for writing down dances? Okay, maybe I should go further back. When Company B dances Swan Lake this year, how much like Swan Lake from Company A in 1956 is it? Tells the same story, probably. Has the same cast? Doing the same motions? In the same costumes? How much is traditional, reasonable variation?
If it's close, how is it recorded?
Yes. One of college roommates was a ballet dancer and choreographer and wrote her master's thesis on Nutcracker performances through time. I can zip her an email if you like.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Okay, I can't stop laughing at that! (And singing it.)
It's too late and I'm too tired to talk politics, other than that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thank you, keen-eyed friend.
My god, I'm sleepy. I have to go fall over.
My sister has a boyfriend, but she was waffling about telling my parents. We were on skype and I had my sister turn the camera to face my mother and I asked "What do you think of her new young man??" which blustered them both terribly.
But I'd told her that I was going to break it to them if she didn't find a way. What's with waiting until it comes up? Some things come up by virtue of being true. Me or her getting regular nookie? Certainly on that list.

Now tagless for your comfort.
3 posts? Really? I go grocery shopping and end up in line behind Paris Hilton's real estate agent (he's having a reality show made about him, can you imagine!??!!) and one line over from...a dreamboat whose name I've neverknown and whose roles I can't place. Principal McHottie Type with the piercing eyes and the transporting voice and the polite ways in the driving lot.
ita, please tell me it was my secret boyfriend Romany Malco.
And this is a way cute online catalog. Definition of whimsy.
