Color Guard Research Paper

I have been dancing for four years now and know for a fact that dancing is a sport. Dancers practice everyday to improve like other sports. I have danced before but it was not as serious until I joined Color Guard my freshman year. Color Guard was mainly contemporary and ballet. I was really stiff at the time due to the fact that I had only have done hip-hop and hard-hitting dances. When my first season was over, I came to love contemporary and ballet more than hip-hop and hard-hitting dances.

I was told to help them in any way needed. I organized what I would do to help them improve. The first step was the encouragement process. I would motivate them to try it out because they do not know if it is hard unless they try it. Next step, I was expected to help and teach them basics for their perspective equipment that they were chosen for. Soon, our coaches would give us choreography and the leaders were expected to help the members. So, I took charge and setted up sectionals to have one-on-one cleaning of the choreography with anyone who needed help on the team. When everyone has gotten the choreography down, we would bring everyone together to see how they do together in a group. We, now, clean everyone as a group since everyone can do the choreography by themselves. With the passion and determination, we got first place at most of our competitions for that year. All the hard work finally paid off. Without communication, all of these would never have happened. Communication is always useful, when trying coordinate a team. We must have constant communication to know what to fix and help the members if needed
