Dance in the World Around Us Journal

Dance In The World Around Us Journal Guidelines

Keep a list of all the ways you see dance in the community around you.  Do you see it on TV?  Do you see it in the newspaper?  Do you see it in nature around you?  Do you see dance at clubs or concerts?  Do you see it at athletic events?  Do you see it in parks or at schools?  In what other venues can you find dance? 

Make a list of what you have seen by date.  Be creative.  Use the same type of dance genre only once (for example: use your Western Swing class just once, use an example from “Newsies” just once, use your room mates dancing just once, use YouTube just once.)  Explain why it is dance to you.  You need to make three entries per week between today August 29 and October 14.

Answer the following questions at the bottom of your journal:

• Did you see anything new? 
• What was the most memorable use of dance you saw?

The assignment is due Friday, October 14.  TYPE UP YOUR ENTRIES AND SUBMIT them here on Canvas.  I will not accept late papers. 

Three entries per week @ 2 pts per entry + 2pts per questions answered at the end of all your entries =  46 pts possible

Example: September 26:

- I saw Swing dance on a Gap commercial while watching Gilligan’s Island.  It is a form of social dance.

- There was a Tai Chi class going on in Desert Breeze Park when I was out walking.  It looked like a dance underwater.
