Reflection+Product

**Reflection Product:**
My project focuses mainly on dance. I chose to discuss the history and importance of change throughout the past years of Modern and Hip-hop dance. I set goals to work with my dance instructor and help her tech other classes throughout the past few weeks and learned a lot more than I knew to begin with. I achieved these goals by going two times a week to help her teach dance classes and helped with students positions of the body and feet. I also was able to help put many routines together and see how certain moves lead into others and etc. There weren’t many problems while I was helping out, but on a few occasions, some of the dance moves we chose for the routines did not fit and we would have to redo it or work extra hard to make it fit in correctly. Dancing is not just a thing that is easy, as people may think or make it out to be. It requires hard work, effort and time, as I learned while working with my dance instructor Jeannette. I was able to achieve my goal, through the good times and the bad. I reached my limit of thirty hours and during that time, completed two routines! I have also learned that I am the kind of person that does not like to give up. When I could not get a dance move correct, I would try over and over and would not stop until I had it right. I would even practice at home. I realized that when I am doing something important to me, like dance, I am a hard worker and strive to do my best. My only weakness is that I sometimes get frustrated when I don’t get something right on the first try, because I know that I can do it. From this experience, I will take with me many things. I now know many steps that are important to dance, techniques, and the patience to be able to make out my own routines if I would like. Doing this made me realize how much I really do love dancing and it is something that I will try to always do as one of my hobbies throughout life!
