Senior Project Proposal

Rationale for Choice
What about this topic appeals to you? Why did you choose it?
          I chose the topic of dance because I have a personal connection with it and am veery interested in this topic.
What do you already know about this subject?
          I have been dancing for 12 years now and know many things about it. I have also experienced the frustration of being told that the thing i love doing is not considered a sport.

What are you hoping to learn about the subject?
           I am hoping to learn more about the reason that dancing is just not good enough for some people and to show people that it is just as difficult as many other sports.
What are you most interested in regarding the topic?
            I am most interested in the aspects of dance in which I relate as well as letting others know how I have a deep connection and love for dance and a desire for others to understand it
What potential risks or challenges do you foresee for your project?
            The risks or challenges I see in this project are possibly that I would not be able to get enough information or that I could not figure out what to do for community service.

Senior Project Blog Topics

Five topics I believe in: 1. I believe dance is an understated sport. It takes just as much effort as any other sport maybe more.
2. I believe that the conformity of people around us causes many problems. Be original.
3. I believe that women can do the same things men can and should not be discriminated against.
4. I believe families are not as close as they use to be due to societies view of what is supposed to be.
5. I believe that drugs and alcohol are cowardly excuses to escape from the real world.


Blog about one of the topics
Being an athlete takes much dedication and perseverance.  An athlete will practice many hours a day for many days in order to get where they want to be.  When you hear the word sports you probably think of football, basketball, baseball, soccer, etc.  I think dance.  It takes so much effort and concentration to be a dancer.  Dancers practice day in and day out just as a football team would.  Dance competitions and performances are the same as a sports game in which you challenge other competitors as well as performing for your crowd.  With dance being as strenuous as it is, it is also such a great workout.  One of the many benefits dance offers is the freedom to express how yourself in a safe and healthy way.
