Reflection+Project

My project was about Stepping; and it's true meaning and valuee. Seperating it from the theaory that it is just another dance. I set a goal of providing information to the public that would help them realize that stepping is a movement brought on by segregation and a crave for acceptance. I wanted everyone who saw me present to know that there is more than what meets the eye when it comes to stepping. I went about this goal by doing heavy research and by spending time with an actual step team called the 'YCM Steppers" at the Church of God in Philadelphia. Specific actions were constant practacies at the Church of God for hours, mostly 3 and nd preperation for an upcoming Stepshow. Problems were sometimes trasportation but the main was the level of comfort on camera or simply being interviewed as a hole. Many did not like it nor wanted to be viewed by strangers but I overcame this proble my getting one to allow me a video and by transporting all I saw into words for my powerpoint. I definitly achieved my goal because I learned more and I believe I am going to be able to teach others what I learned. I learned that stepping i snot only entertainment, it has a strong message behond it that was formed in the roots of South Africa. It is not only for African Americans, it is open to everyone, and continues to transorm for the better as generations expand. I gained a better understanding for the topic and I enjoyed everything I did to gather the knowledge. I am now highly interested in stepping and what it has to offer. Strengths were, the images and information I found about the topic, weaknesses were the lack of pictures from my experience at the Church, and dead ins in information sometimes due to lack of accurecy. And personal growth was massive. I learned more about stepping than I ever imagined, from where it originated in South Africa to why it continues today. I have inhanced my understanding to the fullest and I am very greatful for the resources used to do so. This project was a success from start to finish.
