A Little About Me
Welcome to my Apollo page! I was one of those crazy students who decided to take a course solely based on my ideas and projects. Apollo allows me to further my creativity and knowledge. I finally get the opportunity to develop my ideas into reality. Through my projects, I incorparate my biggest passion, dance. Whether it is studying dance itself or using it to send a message on another topic, I try to incorporate it into every project. I hope you spend some time exploring my projects! Enjoy!

Projects
I love dance, but I had many questions about how dance is for everyone else. Why do people dance? Is dance understood among all cultures? Is dance learned or is it something we are born with? While answering these question, my project emerged.

I started off comparing my dance life and African dance culture, but as I continued I found out African dance has influenced dance in America in my ways. This changed the direction of my project. I looked at African dance culture and how it has evolved and influenced through out the years.

A song based off of a real story is what drove this project. I heard the song and immediately had a vision for what it would look like. I wanted to bring awareness to children in or experiencing war through the art form of dance.

Being a senior who is getting ready to graduate and potentially pursue dance, I wanted to know more about the industry and the top dancers in it. I took a look at what makes a dancer unique and stand out from the rest. I even learned a few of the dances I studied.
