September Extra Post

hey i actually lead a class!

Dancing as my project is a lot of fun because its something i love to do. This month consists mostly of taking classes my mentor has given me and teaching me the ways of teaching a class. it can be rather hard because you need to know the counts perfectly of the routine you are teaching in order for your groups of learners to learn from you well. On saturday a choreographer came to my dance company to teach us a routine and at the end of the class, we are split into groups to show how well you can do the piece he taught us and i was asked to lead two groups! It was nerve wracking and exciting at the same time. It was a great experience for me for i learn how to take on leadership when i dance.

This is my teammates and i doing the piece together. I am the one with the white shirt on.
