Q. Summarise what you did in this activity/project and how you interacted with others?

A. For this activity, I took the initiative of learning how to dance with my dorm mates for our dorm dance competition. Through this activity, me and my friends learnt how to dance by looking some videos online.

Q. Explain what you hoped to accomplish through this activity/project?

A. Dance is something that I have always been passionate about. It is something that makes me happy and helps me to distress. Thus through this activity I hoped to take sometime out of my busy schedule for something I cherish doing, while also learning new and different types of dance forms, as well as I intended on choreographing my own dance routine

Q. How successful were you in achieving your goals? What difficulties did you encounter and how did you overcome them?

A. I think i was successful in accomplishing my goals, since after completing the course I watched other videos as well and was able to choreograph a small routine by myself and I taught the routine to my friends. Moreover, before taking the course, Bollywood was the only dance form that I was knew more about and was good at, however, after completing the course my knowledge about the different dance forms widened and I was also able to learn different techniques for each form. The dance form that I found the most challenging was contemporary, it required more elegance and flexibility than the others. Thus, in order to overcome this I practiced the contemporary dance routine regularly.

Q. What did you learn about yourself and others through this activity/project?What abilities, attitudes, and values have you developed?

A. Through this activity I learned that anything can be easy as long as you practice. I am a very impatient person, however this activity required a lot of effort and commitment , thus one very important attitude I developed was patience. I made sure to practice the dance routines at leats for an hour everyday until I felt that I improved.

Q. How did this activity/project benefit others?

A. It was solo activity, It didn’t really benefited others than me as I learnt how to dance for my own interest
