Pre-Assessment of Student Interest: To assess student interest in planning a school dance, I would use a bubble map. I would ask the students “Have they ever attended a school dance? “ Then I would ask “If you have attend a school dance write down what you liked about the dance.

Dancing is a language, one anyone can read; however, the skill lies not in the ability to read, but in the passion to write.

I remember feeling dazed walking into the hospital; everything was a blur yet seemed to happen in slow motion. And the smell. It was overwhelming and stale
The Spring Thesis performance consisted of six separate pieces, each choreographed by a different person. Due to each dance having a different choreographer, the style of each dance differed from the rest, creating a sense of wonder and excitement as to what the next piece would bring. This was amplified due to the fact that between each part of the performance, the theater went completely dark as the next group of dancers made their way to their positions.

In the past, people created their own entertainment without the use of technology. All what people did was work, come back home, and work more or write. They did not have electricity to provide light, instead they used candles. When they gathered around at a feast or banquet people told stories to each other ,they also sang to each other.

At 3:00 PM on Sunday April 13th, 2014, I attended the performance “Shared Graduate Dance Concert at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center-Dance Theatre. Walking into the theatre I had anticipated experiencing an upright performance. This sensation came as I visited the website for the Shared Graduate Concert and saw a breath taking photo that entailed a person behind a curtain holding their hand up and a fuzzy person in front of a curtain.

the rituals that the Laguna Indians perform. One of these traditions is the ritual they go through after they have hunted in order to show their appreciation for the animal, in this case a deer. Some of the other Laguna traditions include the rain dances they perform during a draught and various other ceremonies.
