Learning Outcome 2
I am actually really, really nervous about culturama. I have never been a good performer and because swimming takes up so much of my time, I haven’t done anything on a stage (other than speeches) in at least 5 years. When I do dance (at weddings and things like that), I am so uncoordinated and stiff. I am a really bad dancer!
I feel that by taking part in the activity I am risking embarrassing myself. I am challenging myself to conquer a fear and try something new. What I aim to do to conquer this fear is to just take things one step at a time and not to overthink the performance. The fact that I got into the dance itself shows that I am capable and all my friends will be on stage with me for support as well.
If by the end of Culturama I feel more confident with dancing in front of people, I will know that I have successfully learned a new skill of Iranian dance and I will feel more comfortable performing in front of people.
I can measure my improvement by:
- How comfortable I am dancing by the end of this
- How eager I am to dance more
