Now you are ready to take a dance class in a cultural dance form that is unfamiliar to you. You will approach this class both as an ethnographer and as a movement artist, an observer and a participant.Enroll in a class of your choice. (See below for further guidelines on choosing a class.)Once you choose what type of class you are going to take, do some research to learn more about both the dance form, and the culture from which it comes. Try a UW Library or Google search for articles or websites. Before you go to the class, you should have some idea of the history and current practice of this dance form and what it means to the cultures that created/dance it.After taking the class, answer the following question:What specifically did participating in a dance form from another culture teach you about that culture?Think thoughtfully about the above question, and develop a strong and specific perspective or thesis based on a synthesis of your movement experience in the class and your research about the culture of the people who created/dance it. Remember that the thesis statement should be the last sentence of the introductory paragraph. Here are examples of thesis statements that are specific and would work for this assignment. Please keep in mind that these samples are meant to be models for the types of sentences we are looking for, but not to be copied and used in your paper. The expectation is that you create your thesis on from your own thoughts and experiences as we want to hear what YOUR response is to the assignment: “After participating in the East-Indian dance class, I have a deeper understanding of dance as a spiritual practice, and how creating specific gestures with the body enables one to feel a connection with the divine.” Or “The culture of hip-hop dance values individuality, and I was able to have a physical experience of that by all of the moments in the class that required students to make energetic and dynamic choices in their bodies.” As opposed to thesis statements that are vague. “After participating in the East-Indian dance class, I have a deeper understanding of how dance is important in that culture.’ Or “The culture of hip-hop dance was revealed to me by taking the class.” Qualities of evidence: The thesis should be based on and supported by TWO sources of evidence: extrinsic research and intrinsic research.Extrinsic: This is not a research paper, so we do not expect extensive outside research for this assignment. However, the expectation is that students locate and incorporate respectable sources of information, and offer the reader a thoughtful consideration of culture. (note: the research should NOT be on the history of the dance form, but rather on its cultural significance) Intrinsic: Consider carefully what evidence from movement is most effective in explaining your thesis. For instance, many social dance forms have fairly basic movements, but complex uses of interpersonal space. If your thesis addresses a connection to community or to a partner, your description should focus more on how you shared space than on recounting the steps you learned. Review the Elements of Dance and Compositional Devices, you have to decide and clearly articulate what course concept best illustrates the point you are making. Remember to always include 3 component descriptions to add to the specificity about the body.Structuring the paperBegin your paper by creating an introductory paragraph that names the class you took(style and studio), your general impressions of the class, and then outlines your thesis. See sample thesis statements above.The 2nd paragraph should discuss the research you gathered before attending the class and should support your thesis. Remember that this information should address how the dance form reflects the CULTURE of the people who created it, rather than just the history of the dance form. (This is the extrinsic information) The 3rd paragraph should support your thesis and consequently the info you provided in the 2nd paragraph by using 3 component descriptions of the dance moves you learned in the class and relating them to your research. (By doing this you are combining extrinsic and intrinsic research) There should be aspects of your research integrated with specific 3 component descriptions throughout this paragraph.Lastly, the concluding paragraph should be a summation of these arguments that specifically points to how the dance class helped better your understanding of the culture.Make sure that you cite your sources!Finally, please review your work. Are you effectively making the point you were hoping to make?Submitting Your AssignmentThe final paper should be 1-2 pages 12pt. font, Times New Roman and double-spaced. Make sure that your paper has a heading in the left hand corner with first and last name, Lesson 07 Assignment, and date. Note: You dont have to attend the class. Just do some research.
