Source of dances principle and element: study.com and www.pbslearningmedia.org
From the source dance has five element which are space, energy, body, action and time.

 Space – light balance dances is performed in the dark stage of AGT where
the only thing that give light is the costume. However, they were able to
maintain their distance to each other and move to their right blocking with
only limited sight plus they don’t into bumping one another which is very
incredible.
 Energy – in the performance we can the light of their costume which can
appear and disappear at anytime but we can fell that the dancers were giving
enough energy to perform their mind-blowing dance.
 Body – light balance dancer used technology "light" to create an outline for
their costume that become the body of the dancer so that they can perform a
very creative and unique type of a dance performance that the world wasn't
seen before.
 Action – light balance group perform a body movement along with the light
emitted by their costume. Not only they perform action in body but also used
light to create a facial expression of their character.
 Time – in the dance performance time is limited, timing is very important as
well. The light balance crew do a great effort in timing their position and
action so that they were able to go at the right blocking at the right time and
show the illusion/magic of dance if it uses lights.
Dance has four primary principle namely structure, relationship, design, and device.

 Structure – light balance group used more non-literal or abstract

choreography structure to their dance performance. It focuses more on visual
impact rather than narrative.
 Relationship – light balance dance is a performed by a group in a dark space.
Light balance dancer has a good relationship in timing and space. relationship
in timing and space in important not only because they can dance with the
beat, but also keep them in control of their movement in the dark stage so
that they wont bump to each other.
 Design – Design is about body shape, pathways, direction, and levels. light
balance group use design very good with lights. They perform an accurate
popping, roboting, break dance, contemporary and lyrical hip-hop in the dark
and with the right distance, level, and beat in costume light they were able to
create an illusion of light.
 Devices – dance devices had many branches such as speed, canon, size,
unison, and etc. and it is to manipulate, enhance, exaggerate, and embody
the dance. Some of these devises are used by the light balance group to
perform the dance. For example, "unison" is moving same action with
synchronization.
