The thread of a thousand adverbs As some of you know, Im taking a dance class. My instructor wants us to think of as many words that describe verbs as possible. We are to take these adverbs and turn them into movement motifs which will then be turned into movement phrases. I need your help. Ive got about 100 adverbs so far. I need as many as you can think of. Just make a big list. I'd appreciate it! | |
