Blog 19: Senior Project and ESLRs
1. I have excelled most at effective learner.
2. I think I have excelled the most here because it stopped being about just explaining simple things to people but to actually teaching and getting through to them in a way they understand. To be able to do so I had see to pay attention to the way I learn best. It's no longer regular communication, it's trying to teach how to do a routine at the same beat as everyone else and still have you're own style to it.
3. I'm not sure how I can take a photo of this. But for example I was helping a girl with a routine and the routine called for a broken hearted girl. So before we started I said, close your eyes and think of that boy that caught your attention from the second you saw him. Remember how giggly you felt. Think of all the hours you spent talking. Now think about how he never called back and played you like a toy. Remember how much he hurt you. Ok that transition of emotions is what the routine needs. You need to start in love and transition to mad heart broken girl.

Blog 18: 2 Hour Meeting Answer #3
1. How can a choreographer best support a dancer for successful dance performances?
2. A choreographer can best support a dancer for a successful dance performance by being innovative with the teaching techniques.
3. -Not everyone learns the same so being able to get through your dancer is important.
-Example: For my independent component I taught a quince waltz that was part cha cha. The boys could not cha cha to save their life, so I started the practice with the cha cha slide.
-Example: Also in my independent component I used chalk to help with the steps.
4. What sparked this answer was actually a research article. It reminded me of independent component. Once I got enough interest in this I asked my mentor about it and she told me how important it is.
5. I plan on studying the effectiveness of some teaching styles versus others.

2. We will work about 15 hours on tahiti practice and 15 on flags. We plan on meeting twice a week and practicing 2 hours each time.
3. A good choreographer knows how to teach technique while teaching a routine.
