3. (Need to know) What questions were raised because of the 10 hours of experience?  List them.   

1. Is class a way to express your emotions with others through dancing?

2. Why is it more expensive to take a class of ballet then hip hop?

3. Is it a good thing to have your kid dance a lot at a young age?

4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

I think what i gained the most is that choreography isn't just about different sets of moves and patterns but emotional and unique. Everyone has their own choreo in their heart and everyone has a different pattern to go by when it comes to dancing, which is amazing. 

5. What is your senior project topic going to be?  How did what you did help you choose a topic?  Please explain.

Im going to stay with Performing Arts. The reason for this is because dancing is my passion and it would be exciting to learn more and go more in depths  with something i really like to do. Teaching and assisting class at dellos helped me choose this topic because it gave me an insight of what being a teacher and choreographer is like, and it is very exciting yet sometimes troublesome for sometimes you get stuck with your next move in your choreography.
