For your final project choose a dance genre/or person (associated with a particular style of dance) of interest to further investigate. Use three to five sources, outside of the textbook, and cite them with MLA format.
Here are some starting points for your outline and final paper:
• Why is this art form important?
• What are some of the historical facts about this dance?
• How and by whom was this art form performed?
• What was going on historically during the era this dance was being done/ Is this particular art form still being done today? If so what are the changes in the current form.
Your final paper should be in essay format with a minimum of 1200 words.
Below are some topic ideas for your paper, it is perfectly fine to choose someone/thing not on this list as long as long as the topic is relevant to dance history and research.
