1. For my independent component, I will be creating a dance routine or more with a few friends. As I create the routine(s), I will analyze what makes the dance routine unique, what needs improvement, and certain feedback from other people I need to consider. If that fails, I will continue with regular mentorship hours
2.To show that I've done my 30 hours, I will take many pictures of me teaching a dance routine, possibly record on video some of the routine(s) I did, and maybe keep a summarized log of what I did for every time I work on my component.
3. What I'm doing will help me explore my topic more in depth because I'm actually the one who's teaching the routine(s) which gives me a heads-up experience for choreographing, I'm actually analyzing every factor of a song that can contribute to the uniqueness of the dance routine(s) for the specified song(s), and getting feedback from other people is already a way to explore this certain topic more in depth.

1. My mentor is Heather Gonzalez and she works in a dance studio called "In the Lab 24/7".
2.-When and how did you start working in "The Lab 24/7"?
-How and where did you learn your skills for hip hop?
-Did you attend a dance school/program for hip hop? If so, can you please describe your experience in the school?
-How did you get into dance crews outside of "The Lab 24/7"?
-Were you recommended for a very special event? If so, what was the reason for it?

Blog 5 Project Reflection and Working EQ
The Pentagon:
1. The positive thing that has happened over what I have completed so far is that I got a mentor to teach me more of hip hop since I love it a lot. I'm also becoming more involved with the dance studio I'm attending. I also have the ok to practice my own choreography with one of the instructors.
2. All my sources from Hip Hop Moves really taught me a lot about dance crews, choreography, and two types of hip hop that I usually do--lyrical and freestyle hip hop. While the other sources talk about the history and the affects of hip hop on the public, these sources go more in depth on choreography, styles, and crews in general.
3. What has worked out is that I was able to find a mentor, to be able to go to the dance studio since I enjoy it there, and actually getting progress done with this topic.
4. What hasn't worked out so far is that my second mentor who works at the same studio hasn't responded yet, so I'm still waiting for his reply and that my dad thinks I'm fooling around when I go to the dance studio.
5.
-My potential EQ is "What is the best way to keep the audience, of all ages, viewing your choreography as a standing ovation?"
-I plan to shadow an instructor teaching a dance routine to students, at times, attend a dance routine session, and to plan a dance routine of my own with my mentor.

Blog 4: Interview Preparation
Content:
1. I plan on interviewing between Jesse and Heather. Jesse because he was actually in a known hip-hop competition and has pretty good experience with it that he can talk about. Heather because she was also in a hip-hop competition, is currently dancing for two crews, and based on the info I gathered, she's easier to talk to.
2. Here is a list of my questions:
-How long have you been doing choreography?
-Where did you learn choreography?
-Could you please tell me more of your experience when learning it?
-What made you interested in choreography in the first place?
-What other types of hip-hop styles have you mastered?
Additional Questions:
-When creating your choreography, how do you first come up with ideas for it?
-How do you usually impress your audience? Could you give me some examples?
-For you, is it mainly easy or hard to get through how you want your routine to be?
-What's the first thing you should target whenever you start dance choreography?
-How's it like actually performing in a competition/street battles?
