9/27/2023 1 Comment Week One: Project PitchWe had both already heard about Genius hour coming into Mr.Barkers class. Upperclassmen on our respective teams had told us the many stories about what they did and how some loved or hated it. So when he pitched the idea our minds went to our sports. The next day in AP world we were discussing that we wanted to do something with our sports and then the idea to teach each other skills popped into our heads. Obviously we are both beginners at the others sports so we both went home and figured out some cool attainable skills to teach the other person. Alyssa chose for Lila to learn an Ariel and a back walk over. These are skills she is very confident that Lila can get but she would love for Lila to get a back handspring so that is a reach goal. Lila had some ideas for Alyssa when Alyssa asked to learn Maddie turns. Alyssa was referring to Maddie Ziegler from the reality TV show Dance Moms signature turns. The technical dance term for those turns is turns in second. With this request in mind Lila chose for Alyssa to learn turns in second and a clyspo. The reach skill that Lila picked for Alyssa is a flying disc. We are planning to meet up every two weeks at either the old high school dance room, Lila's dance studio, or Alyssa's house. We will start by demonstrating the skill and then have the other person make a first attempt. Then we will start to teach the skill. Then over the two weeks, we will work on them by ourselves. Then we will meet back up and continue with the skills. We will be videoing our progress throughout and then make a montage of us mastering the skills.
