I tried searching, but I didn't have any luck. Does anyone know a website that gives me the definitions of the elements of dance? I need "shape" specifically. Thanks.

Try this site: http://www.curriculumsupport.education.nsw.gov.au/primary/creativearts/dance/elements/index.htm
According to this site, "Shape is an aspect of the element of space. Shape is perhaps the strongest visual component in dance. The term shape may refer to individual body shapes (the way in which 3-dimensional space is used by the body) and group shapes. Body shapes are present in all actions in dance. Shapes in dance convey meaning."
It goes on to give types of shapes and graphics to illustrate the shapes in dance.

The four basic elements are space, time, shape, and motion according to Jose Limon. On a website about him it says point, line, volume, and other variables can define Space.
