For an accessible introduction to the problem of dance notations, see
Singh, Beatty, Booth and Ryman in Siggraph'83.  You can chase up
references from here.  All I can add is that many choreographers (All
I have encountered) do NOT use notations, as none are up to the job.
There's research at New York into using figure animation, computer
graphics and body sensors (Columbia I think).
