History of Dance and Choreography(ancient times to present)

History of Dance and Choreography(ancient times to present) Order Description Approximately 5-8 pages plus MLA-style works cited. Number pages. Label with name, section, and assignment. Use at least three “popular” sources. Scholarly is even better. Write a paper in which you give a history of something that we don’t usually think of as having a history – something we don’t usually think of in a historical sense. Choose the kind of timeline you wish: long or short, millions of years or a decade or a year. Choose three to five points along that timeline to focus on. Use the online program Tiki Toki to create a timeline. This will be your version of this history and your choices of what to include will be significant. There should be a detectable “principle of selection” for the points you choose. This will be determined by what you’re curious about, what you want to know: your critical question. . Can you question categories and definitions as you explore your topic? Can you redefine, or define something that hasn’t been defined, or even re-categorize? Can you trace a thread or find a historical pattern, or historical echoes? Another challenge is of course to surprise your reader(s) with the freshness of your topic. History is a narrative, a story. But it doesn’t end, and it’s hard to know if we ever got it right. So here is the creative part: use this exploration of your subject (you might take the last ¼ to 1/3 of the paper to do this) to explore some “what if?” possibilities or implications, or exploring what is at stake in being able to see your topic in the way that you are presenting it in your paper.
