LO2: “Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process. A new challenge may be an unfamiliar experience or an extension of an existing one. The newly acquired or developed skills may be shown through experiences that the student has not previously undertaken or through increased expertise in an established area.” 

Culturama allows me to present an extension of some of the skills I have developed over the course of my high school experience. I truly enjoy performing. It allows me to relieve my stress, take my focus off an academically rigorous life, and engage a different aspect of myself. I found the West-India and East-India styles of dance a bit more challenging because I had never done it before. I am excited to explore this style of dance, as well as perform my more comfortable style of Bhangra, which still manages to invigorate me after the most tiring day! It is a bit uncertain whether we’ll be able to perform live, but I think deciding to perform despite this fact captures the spirit of culturama and why we take part in experiences such as this.
