Well this month i've had both good news and bad news. The bad news is that my mentor Michael Bailey will be retiring soon as a choreographer and a dancer. This really got me bummed out because he was the first person to recognize my style of dancing and showed me what i can accomplish. He was the person who told me to audition for Marvels Dance Company and later become the best of the best. He was my mentor in a close level and i will miss him when he retires in December. The good news is that i will be having a new Mentor Tawnya Nguyen, who is a choreographer for Marvels Dance Co and a professional dancer in an adult team, Rogue Makers.
This Month we started to order the Company's outfit for the next competition. I didn't think it was important but it really matters what you wear on stage because it can influence what the audience thinks of you and your choreography. For example if you wore saggy pants and a long shirt and did ballet, the audience would not take you serious and would most likely not get the full art of what you are doing. Yet if you wore that same outfit to a crump or hiphop style choreography, you will make the audience feel the strong and "thug" tension you are trying to enforce on them. I cannot show the outfit right now for it is a secret until they show the team but i will gladly post it once they give out the new look.

Blog 8 - Research and Working EQ
1. What is your working EQ?
What is the best technique to impact the public with performing arts?
2. What is a possible answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format.
I believe the best way to impact others with dance is by the choreography and music you choose to perform. The reason for this is because choreography is the language of the body and so that is how one can interact and communicate with others and show how they feel through dancing. Also music is a very important role for it can impact people in different ways. Examples are choosing an upbeat song would get people excited and jolly and would have fun watching you dance. While a lyrical, more mellow song would make people watch your technique and choreography with emotion and would allow others to feel how you feel.
3. What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?
A source that helped me choose this answer was article 11, "Art in the Dark." Reason for that is because it showed how a good choreography and theme can really change peoples feelings in watching performing arts come to life in a magical way. The music was a big impact in this performance because of the how it made people feel.
4. Who is your mentor, or where are you doing mentorship, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?
My mentor is Michael Bailey, a choreographer and founder of Marvels Dance Company. I do most of my mentorship hours at Dellos Performing Arts Studio in Walnut City. What i do is learn how to teach choreography and choose which music to find for the next piece and i fill out paperwork and take class, etc. I believe this helps me with my EQ for i can get how someone who makes choreography chooses its music and makes students feel a special way.

Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Approval
1. Describe in detail
what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
What i plan on doing for my 30 hours of work is taking classes and going to workshops for dance routines. Classes is when you go to a dance studio and you take a class on your preferred dance style while a choreographer teaches you for an hour. Doing a dance workshop is when you go to different parts of areas and cities to take class by an amateur choreographer. These are popular amongst the dance community because that's when many dancers come together to learn a piece together. Once i have done both of these, i will try to teach a class at a dance studio.
2. Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
The best method to reach my goal of completing thirty hours is to stay organized. I plan make a schedule and plan out the amount of hours I need to meet my goal. I also plan to be consistent in order to complete my hours on time. By creating a schedule, I can clearly see how many hours I am completing a day. It will also keep me motivated and focused on my goal.
3. And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.
I believe this will personally help me go in depth with my topic because i will be closer with the dance community. Also i will become more comfortable with my body as i will be doing several types of dance styles.
