1. What is your EQ?
What is the most important factor in creating a successful hip-hop dance performance.
2. What is your first answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
the most important factor in creating a hip-hop dance performance is the help of performing with facial expressions to the style in which is the choreography you are dancing to.
3. What is your second answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
The second answer to my essential question is Practicing during hard conditions and environment.
4. List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.
My answer is true because without practice you cannot give a 100% performance. An example of this is during competition we practice for at least 5 hours before performing so you remember everything and you keep what you learned crisp and ready for a 110% performance.
Another reason practice is essential is because that is how you will perfect the routine or set. Like the saying "practice makes perfect" my company practices 5 hours every Saturday to perfect the set as much as possible.
Also practicing is important because it keeps your mind focused on what you are doing. Example, if you forget to practice for a while, you'll start to lose what you learned and you make a lot more mistake for you don't have the focus anymore. So practicing can help with performance, perfection, and a focused mind.
5. What printed source best supports your answer?
http://www.psychologicalscience.org/index.php/news/releases/going-through-the-motions-improves-dance-performance.html
This source talks about the ballet aspect but it talks about how practicing can help performance both physically and mentally.
6. What other source supports your answer?
Tawnya Nguyen because she is always telling us to practice everyday even when we don't have practice.
7. Tie this together with a concluding thought.
In conclusion, using my trusty sources,my mentor Tawnya Nguyen, helped me decide that my second answer is Practice because practicing is a vital instruction and part to becoming an excellent performer.

Independent Component 1
LITERAL
(a) Write: “I, Brandon Salinas, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 40 hours of work.”
(b) Cite your source regarding who or what article or book helped you complete the independent component.
Michael Bailey and Tawyna Nguyen are the main sources that helped me throughout my independent component because they taught me choreography, did interviews, and showed me what workshops to take.
(c) Update your hours in your Senior Project Hours link. Make sure it is clearly labeled with hours for individual sessions as well as total hours.
you can find my hours Here.
(d) Explain what you completed.
For my independent component i attended several workshops which made me learn a few choreographies both of a unique hip-hop style and regular hip-hop. As well as learn new ways of exercising and stretching to not strain your body when it comes to hard hitting dances. Taking classes on my own was another factor for my hours as well as teach a class.

INTERPRETIVE
Defend your work and explain its significance to your project and how it demonstrates 30 hours of work. Provide evidence (photos, transcript, art work, videos, etc) of the 30 hours of work.
- APPLIED
How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better? Please include specific examples to illustrate this.
For the past few month i was able to go more into depth on how dancing is an art a how great the dance community can be. What i got out of workshops were how every person has a different body language when they dance, like a fingerprint, they're all different. It also showed me that most dancers are very positive and friendly towards each others because they want to learn from others as well. When taking class, it is similar but in a more strict way. You have to do exactly what the teacher tells you to do instead of adding a little bit of your own style.
