It's All In The Research

          It is obvious that in order to do something, you need to know how.  If you want to play a game, you need to know the rules.  If you want to do a math problem, you need to learn the steps.  In the dance Me Verses Myself, I decided to make it lyrical, a kind of dance that I haven't had much training in.  Since I want to do this style, I need to learn how.  I have an idea and a little bit of experience, including a major dance background, but I still need to learn more.  Today I was looking up videos of how to do lyrical steps.  I found a person online that teaches steps for jazz and lyrical dance, so I began to go along with her exercises.  Her name is Cathy Roe and is excellent at both dancing and making great educational dance videos.  Another way that I found I could become a better lyrical dancer is by practicing the replication of other people's lyrical dance routines.  From this, I will be able to add many kinds of steps into my portfolio of knowledge, which I will be able to pull from when putting together the dance; Me Verses Myself.
