Process Paper
When the time came for everyone to choose their topics, the decision was obvious for us. For one, we’re both dancers who want to share our passion with others. What better way is there to complete this goal than to take part in a national project about our favorite sport? Also, just a short time before the National History Day project was underway; our friend Drew told us the story of the Modern Dance Revolution. Immediately, we knew that this was perfect for the fair.
We started researching the Modern Dance Revolution as soon as we could. It was absolutely inspiring to watch such amazing dancers and to read about the founders of this beautiful art form. Once the basic fact-finding was finished, we divided up our four website pages and worked separately. We were able to find everything online which was very helpful.
It was pretty difficult to pick which of the project options would fit best for our topic. Ultimately, we chose to do a website. We picked four topics that we figured would accurately represent our project: techniques and styles, history, important founders, and ballet vs. modern. After finding all of the information needed, we compiled it to form the current website.
Modern is a completely new and innovative dance form that was definitely a huge change to the world. Before this revolution, ballet was the main style of dance, but it was very structured and strict. When modern came about, we were given a taste of a new way of moving and expressing yourself without the limitations that ballet would dictate. Many people saw this as an opportunity to create their own ways of being, and eventually the dance world became what is today; a way to be free.
