It was fun watching youtube videos and learning basic steps from different dance styles Taylor
I felt really nervous to present my slides to the class but I’m trying to be a good leader so I am proud I did it. Amelia
I like that I had lots of choices for what activities to do. I chose fire knife dancing because it is really rare and unique. Mithesh

Presenting my work on jazz dancing made me nervous but I did some good learning and I’m glad I showed my class. Lexi
Brainstorming stage:
Researching and designing stage:
I found it interesting that jazz dancing and jazz music don’t have much in common at all Finn
Presenting and public speaking stage:
Presenting to the class made me so happy because my presentation was about a special dance called Jarabe from my culture so I liked to educate my class Victoria
Even though I felt so nervous and I went last, I’m glad I got to share my acro dance project with the class. Mackenzie
