1. If ballerina’s focus at a specific spot while spinning then their balance would not be lost.
2. Dependent: spinning
Independent: balance
Control: ballerina
3. The connection between my experiment and my EQ is; my EQ is what is most important in perfecting the role of a ballerina and my experiment will probably give me one answer. Since spinning and balance is a huge factor in ballet, it will determine one of the factors that ballerina’s need to have in order to be perfect. How do you gain balance? Does spotting help?
4. Equipment: dancers, a focused spot, a timer, paper and pen to write data.
I will perform, grouping three groups, first group random, the second spotting, and the third not spotting. Random meaning, they won’t know that there they should be spotting which are the ones that will go first. I will make them spin for at least two 8 counts constantly. I will record and observe their movement/balance especially in their body and head. Then I will have the other two groups do the same; except the spotting group will know where the focused spot it located. I will do this over again a few times. I will basically examine the anatomical causes of balance vs. dizziness and assess why it is that spotting prevents the latter.
Why do you balance when you spot?
There are tubes in your ear that have a fluid matrix in them these tubes are lined which small bone-like structures called otolinths. The tubes in the ear help people balance when you change position. These structures react to gravity and move the surface of the tube and the fluid which can be turned into an action potential and integrated into motor cortex via neurotransmitter. The brain can send signals back through your cerebellum to control fine muscle coordination as a result of the ear signals. Therefore, me figure out why exactly this will occur.
