Independent Component 2

Literal:
I, Erika Cortez, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work. I practiced for 33 hours. Usually at least 3 hours per week.

Interpretive:
I practiced my dances that my teacher taught me during my dance class. At the beginning I was practicing and preparing for the March show and towards the end I practiced for the June show that I am in. It’s hard dancing on the floor at my house because it’s not special dancing floor but I would do it either on pointe or flats. It demonstrates 30 hours of work because of all the practice that was put in every week.

Applied:
It applies to my essential question because in order to perfect your performance, you need to practice over and over again! It’s a major part in dancing. I needed to memorize the steps well and also perform them perfectly on stage. Practicing is what makes the performance perfect in emotion, coordination, and of course the steps.

Independent Component 2 Plan Approval

1) I plan on doing a diet like what the ballerina's do. I will try to find an accurate diet plan for myself and make sure that ballerina's do it also.
2) I'm not just going to do my diet for a little over a day(30 hours). I'll probably do it for a month and I'm sure that's good enough to meet the requirement.
3) I'm thinking that this will be one of my answers. A perfect ballerina has to be able to have the perfect ballerina body.

Independent Component 1

LIA:
L: I, Erika Cortez, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work. For this component, I made sure I practiced 3 hours a week for my dances. I practiced my dances that were taught to me at my dance class, at my house, different days of the week for 3 hours.
I: In order to dance well and memorize all the steps, you need to practice a few times a week so that you are able to perform it at home. For this component, I am practicing for my recital in March. I probably practiced more than 3 hours some of the weeks but I made sure it was at least 3 hours. Because of my practicing, when I returned back to my dance class the next week, I knew all the dances.
A: This component helped me on my EQ because I chose it to be my first answer. This component is a perfect example of my first answer: Training/Practicing. Practicing is a huge key factor to being the perfect ballerina. Each professional ballerina dances about 6 days a week 5-8 hours a day. I didn’t go that extreme but I did practice more than I ever would. An example would be my third interview said she always used to practice and that’s how she was always perfect at everything. My component helped me understand the role of a perfect ballerina by practicing.

Independent Component 1 Plan Approval

1) For my Independent Component, I plan to use my practice hours leading to my recital and also tutor/teach little girl/girls for ballet. I plan to have all 30 hours for the first semester by doing this.

2) I will be practicing my dancing a few hours a week and will get my hours signed off by my parents and or sister. I will also teach/tutor the little girl/girls during the weekend and get the hours signed off by their parents.

3) It relates to my EQ because practicing ballet will hopefully make be better and make me realize what it takes to be a role of a perfect ballerina.
