Silhougraphs
http://www.ccdr.org/silhougraphs.html
The system cannot notate choreography, but the claim is that the system CAN notate attitude, body posture, etc. and can be useful even as a diagnostic tool in the arena of dance therapy. Interesting article.
This formal introduction to Silhougraphs?introduces their genesis, preparation, purpose and value, name, and some applications. The premise is that dancers create shapes in space with their bodies, with their costumes, and paraphernalia as well as with their movements and postures.

History of Dance Notation
http://www.ballet.co.uk/mar98/notation_history.htm
History of Dance Notation
The debate about the necessity of dance notation is pertinent in an age where it proves quicker and cheaper to record a performance on a Camcorder. However, the role of dance notation has always been a contentious one; its position marginal when considered against the pervasive oral tradition of ballet. This must in part be attributed to the sporadic development of a workable system, as well as to the fluctuating fortunes of dance as an art in Western culture.

Dance Notation Bureau

Dance Notation Bureau
The Dance Notation Bureau? (DNB) mission is to advance the art of dance through the use of a system of notation.
DNB does this by creating dance scores using the symbol system called Labanotation. This allows the dances to continue to be performed long after the lifetime of the artist. Dance scores function for dance the same way music scores function for music.
