Thesis: Body of Work

DancEd (Ontario's Cultural Dance Programme)

Focused on challenging the declining rates of physical activity among adolescent girls, I created a cultural dance education programme, DancEd, offered to females as an alternative to physical education classes. DancEd encourages young girls to engage in physical activity by participating in a programme that promotes independent learning, collaborative engagement, appreciation for multiculturalism and insight into diverse traditional cultural perspectives. My final work includes a website database of cultural dances from around the world, a series of promotional posters, a commercial, and DancEd Activewear. Move with purpose and take a world tour of cultural dances.
