Abstract

This milestone explores modern English Ballroom Dance styles, techniques, and histories. Specifically, the objective of this milestone will be to provide a historical background for International Waltz and International Cha Cha, to experience other International styles through classes, and to generate video demonstrations of learned routines for International Waltz and Cha Cha.

Prior to embarking on this milestone, Benjamin Secino took over one hundred hours of Ballroom classes at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, learning International Waltz, Foxtrot, Quickstep, American Waltz, Foxtrot, International Cha Cha, Rumba, Jive, Mambo, Bolero, Samba, American Cha Cha, Rumba, East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, and Lindy Hop. Benjamin competed in four collegiate Ballroom competitions, winning five ribbons. Benjamin is also the Treasurer of the WPI Ballroom Dance Team.

Introduction


I suggest you save this section for last. Describe the essence of this project. Cover what the project is and who cares in the first two sentences. Then cover what others have done like it, how your project is different. Discuss the extent to which your strategy for completing this project was new to you, or an extension of previous HUA experiences.

As you continue to think about your project milestones, reread the "Goals" narrative on defining project milestones from the HU2900 syllabus. Remember: the idea is to have equip your milestone with a really solid background and then some sort of "thing that you do". You'll need to add in some narrative to describe why you did the "thing that you did", which you'd probably want to do anyway. You can make it easy for your advisors to give you a high grade by ensuring that your project milestone work reflects careful, considerate, and comprehensive thought and effort in terms of your background review, and insightful, cumulative, and methodical approaches toward the creative components of your project milestone deliverables.

Section 1: Background


An overview of Ballroom Dancing from the Middle-Ages through the early 19th century.

Waltz: Dancing to a New Tune


The introduction, reception, and development of International Waltz.

Popularization of Ballroom Dance


The development and expansion of Ballroom Dance in the 19th and 20th centuries, including the introduction of new dances and the rise of competitions.

Cha Cha: Ballroom Gets Spicy


The history of Cha Cha in England.

The current state of Ballroom Dancing.

Section 2: Deliverable


Additional Image


In this section, provide your contribution, creative element, assessment, or observation with regard to your background research. This could be a new derivative work based on previous research, or some parallel to other events. In this section, describe the relationship between your background review and your deliverable; make the connection between the two clear.

Subsection 1


...use as many subsections or main sections as you need to support the claims for why what you did related to your Background section...

Subsection 2


...and so on and so forth...
