Default Labanotation

Labanotation is the most widely accepted dance notation system, and the most widely taught in universities. There is actually a Laban school in London, but they do much more than just teach notation there, I believe. It is a fully accredited university offering undergraduate and graduate degrees in dance, with, I believe, an emphasis on contemporary or modern dance.

That being said, I think that written dance notation is laborious, time consuming, and probably obsolete practice, with the advent of video. Filming a dance from multiple angles is probably much more effective at preserving and, whenever desired, reconstructing choreography.
