Praise Dance So, for my first project, I really wanted to incorporate my religion, Christianity, into it. I feel very strongly about my religion that I consider it more of a relationship with God more than anything. It's gotten to the point where I don't understand how people can live without him. I feel that not just Christianity, but religion, in general, is a basic need for humans. It's something to hold on to when you're confused about life, something that drives and guides you, as well as answer questions that seem to have no answer. It's something I am deeply passionate about. So, for this project, I wanted to bring up something I very much enjoyed doing when I was younger and that is Praise Dance.
Praise dance is another way to praise and worship God through the art of dance. The dance is usually choreographed, but there are times where people have improvised and moved in the spirit. The dancers usually wear long flowy dresses, but now there are many different types of praise dances so the attire may vary. The kind of praise dance I do is more traditional and culture to my church and its the kind I'm gonna explain and talk further about in this project.

For my first project I actually wanted to do something with fashion and make my own clothing, but obviously, I changed my mind. I still wanted to do something with fashion and that's when I decided to hand sew my own traditional praise dance dress out of an old dress as well as some fabrics I owned. I really enjoyed making the dress and it was a nice experience to be able to spend time on something you enjoy doing and being able to see the end product
