Performance Arts Final Reflection

Performance Arts Final Reflection

For the past few weeks in Performance Arts Class, we have worked on choreography pieces created by different people in the class. Each person in the class was given the chance to be a choreographer. The choreographers would choose other students to act as performers in their dance. The choreographers would choose the performers based on the movement styles they had shown in previous classes.

In this class, I feel comfortable to try new styles and I know I will not be judged. I hope that I can make others in my class feel the same
