Assignment - The Dragon Dance Paper
Description - My research will mainly be Chinese dragon dance. I saw dragon dance performances when I was very young, and I hope to study the impact of dragon dance on Chinese society. At the same time I will learn about dance forms, music, and origins. I read an article about Dragon Dance in Tu Village: SocialCohesion and Symbolic Warfar, which I will refer to in my research project.

Section I - What are the origins of your selected dance? Think of its geographic roots and how that informs the dance as a whole. What, if any, are the major historical events that helped shape the proliferation/common knowledge of this dance?
Section II - Describe the steps and movements of your selected dance. Provide enough detail to so that your reader can get a clear idea of how the dance is performed. Be sure to speak to all aspects of the body and not just the footwork.
