CAS Learning Outcomes:

5: Demonstrate the skills and recognise the benefits of working collaboratively

I started learning dance only one and a half week before the performance. I was first not willing to do it, by peer pressure, I found myself joining the team. Although I had been dancing in the past, I had never performed dancing at school right now. Although I was nervous if I could accomplish this at first, I found myself actually enjoying learning the dance and practicing with friends in free time. On the day of performance, I felt that the big number of performers made the dance more appealing, and I was glad to be a part of this. I learned  once again that by performing with other people, the performance can look more appealing and energetic. 

Sep./2022- (CAS Showcase Performance on 31st/Mar./2023)

CAS Learning Outcomes:

1: Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth

2: Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process

4: Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences

I joined the breakdance club at my school in September in 2022. Although I have an experience in dancing, that was when I was a primary school student, so I hadn't been dancing for many years. When I danced in the past, I mainly learned cheer dance, so breakdance was a completely new genre for me. Many skills needed muscle strength and agility which I did not have, but by going to practice every week, I saw myself improve and gradually being able to do some newly learned skills, such as the baby feeze and six-steps. My area for improvement would be to train more and develop muscle strength so I would be able to perform more challenging skills. However, I realized that my strengths are things I learned in my childhood, such as the ability to memorize choreography easily and doing cartwheels.
