Day 1, my group chose the dances we wanted to achieve, we decided on-time consideration. We also decided to use different music styles to represent the dances, we did a mashup of all the different songs. For the Indian dance, we chose the use the sound of a metronome because the beats go perfectly with the speed of the Kathak dance. For the American dance, we used poplar songs that was realised a while back

My main role was to research and compile several types of African dances and choose one. After I chose my dance, I found several African soundtracks and chose the one that fit my dance the best. Unfortunately, I got a heel injury which does not allow me to dance so I contribute more in presentations and feedback.

The African dance I chose, uses a type of beat called Gaia. The dance routine I nominated was made by a film actor called Sherrie Silver. The dance was performed by the local people of Rwanda.
in this unit, my main role was to do the American dances. I had to find different dances American dances, which were comparatively harder and faster. Then later, Rhea and I both had to find a soundtrack that works for the dance without lyrics.
For the American dance, Both rhea and I found 3/4 dances that were pretty fast and hard to learn but we accomplished it. We are doing 3 dances from the songs Lotery, blueberry faygo.
In the second day of the unit, we chose and analysed our theme “ Around the World .“ We equally cleaved our work. We chose three different cultures, Indian, American and African. All four of us worked on our individual parts, for example, each of us described how the dance we did represented the theme, and that lead us to having a greater understanding of our theme and dance better. We communicated a lot to make our dance as smooth as possible and to exhibit our dance as clearly and well as prossible.
In our theme that was around the world, we chose to do an indian classical dance that is Kathak. In Kathak I will be doing basic "paltas" which is foot movement.
"around the world"
My main role was to do an Indian dance, in this I had to find what kind of Kathak I wanted to do and what in kathak I wanted to do. After choosing the Kathak style I wanted to do. I had to choose the Mertonme I needed to use.

Mixed (radhika & rhea)
My main role this unit is to do salsa accurately and showcase the american and spanish culture through my dance. i also want to make sure everyone is getting an equal part in everything and no one is doing more or else therefore i am taking charge of that. in addition to that,, i will be making sure that everyone is working collaborativly
Today, we mainly focused on making sure that everything we were adding on here were correct. In addition to that, we also switched themed with another group. We had gotten the theme “Living in the moment”. We didn't get enough time to actually make the dance, but we had decided to chose the song “I Don’t Care” to show that we dont care about whats happening and we are justing focusing on one moment which is now. The song contains lyrics that say “cause i don’t care” and that was what we were trying to showcase in our dance
Today in class, in the first 20 minutes we managed to come up with a 40 second dance, and though it wasn’t long enough, we still got some good feedback. We presented our dance and got peerfeedback (next two slides). We used the feedback that the group that did our theme to try and add the our dance but we didn’t get to actually implying the feedback in our dance. Hopefully we can add to it in the next class.
