Project Title: The analysis of african american choreography over time

A. Project Abstract: (Refer to the detailed information located in the proposal/letter of intent)
My project is over the analysis of African American choreography over time. Dance and choreography has been my passion since i was five years old, watching
So you think you can dance and America's best dance crew. How did African American choreography changed over time? My product is about choreography. My
product will be taped in a dance studio. I will videotape the performance of the choreography. My audience will be the people grading my project. I am planning to
make a dance exampling the African Americans styles. Different types of costumes will be use during the dance. The whole point of this project to help you learn
how I analysis the movements in choreography in Africa, during slavery, and segregation, then present styles. This will show the evolution of dance within African
American History. Dance was a way of showing culture and remaining to one's heritage.
