Repeated movement

In DanceWriting and MovementWriting, we do have a way to repeat a  
whole chunk of movement...

Imagine if you were dancing to rhythm counts, and you wanted to  
repeat the exact same phrase two times...like:

1 & 2 &

then again

1 & 2 &

that is a lot of movement to have to re-write, and if it is an exact  
repeat, then we have a way to repeat the whole previous phrase, based  
on notation that is used in the music world...a large dot, a  
horizontal line, and a large dot...this Repeat Phrase symbol is  
placed under the counts...like this:

1 & 2 &

This Repeat Symbol is a standard well known in other parts of the  
writing system, so it could be made tiny and placed next to symbols  
in a shorthand kind of way...not for publication but for personal  
writing:

I personally do not feel the need for this, but it would make sense  
and continues the logic of the system...
