thursday post

today my group is presenting our dance project. for the dance project, we are supposed to choose a folk dance from the dance textbook, learn the steps in the textbook, and then teach our classmates the dance. we also have to make a teaching aid, and this teaching aid tells information about the dance, which country does this dance belong to, and other miscellanous information. most importantly the teaching aid must be interesting.

so here's wat my group did:



its a DIY castle. haha. that's why it looks a bit ugly. the instructions to build the castle were taken from some website. you may think that the castle is super ordinary, sure cannot score point, but well you are wrong. we have an element of surprise. haha.

the bottom is actually a styrofoam box, and we built the castle on top of the cover of the styrofoam box. so once we remove the cover, we have:




ta da!

tancuj is the name of the folk dance that we taught to our classmates. tancuj is a folk dance from czech republic, and czech republic is famous for castles and dance theatres, so we built a mini dance theatre. we also place task cards inside the styrofoam box, so that they can be taken out to read, and therefore know more about the background information of the country or the dance.

although the workmanship is far from impressive, but i am still proud of the final product. must really thank my group mates' effort in making this whole thing together.
