German term

bewegungstechnisch

German to English Social Sciences Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting dance
"1885 veröffentlichte die Amerikanerin G. Stebbins ihre Bewegungstheorie [25], die sich auf das bewegungspädagogische System von F. Delsartes stützt.....In der Gegenüberstellung von Körperdarstellungen griechischer Vasenbilder und Posen aus dem bewegungstechnischen System des Balletts versuchte Emmanuel den antiken Tanz zu decodieren." I can "translate" the sentences, but I am wondering if there is not a better rendition of "Bewegungstheorie," "bewegegungspaedagogisch" and "bewegungstechnisch" than "motion/movement..." Many thanks in advance.

What's wrong with motion/movement? The term "motion technique" or "movement technique" is frequently used in texts about the ballet.

A challenge to "the hegemony of ballet," it was related to the graceful, "aesthetic calisthenics" of the Delsarte system, which from the 1890s had an enormous impact on American dance and physical culture (96).

According to the above references you could justifiably use 'aesthetic calisthenics' for 'bewegegungspaedagogisches System'. This would then free up 'movement theory' or 'theory of movement' for 'Bewegungstheorie'. As regards 'bewegungstechisch' you could use 'calisthenic' or 'movement technique'.

Oxford English Dictionary: 'callisthenics' (double 'l' in OED!) = 'exercises to develop elegance and grace of movement'
