Driving forces

• there are students at AHS who are dancers
• many students dance during lunch
• it gives a mix of hip-hop into the atmosphere//hip-hop culture
• a mixture of interests
• upbeat, & fun
• it gives students the chance to show themselves off and challenge others

Barriers

• students might be shy
• students might have a hard time free-styling
• students might want to give up or change their minds
• one student might out do everyone else because of prior skills
• take the competition too serious// over competitive
• might not have enough time for every single student to strut their stuff

students might have a hard time free-styling

I think it would be a good idea to give students two choices and if they dont like one song choice, then they could choice the other. it might help the student feel more comfortable and not have them back down or out.

one student might out do everyone else because of prior skills
i'm not basing the competition on the skills part so much. i think that it might be a little unfair if there is someone who everyone knows will win and does. I would look for students who actually put a lot of effort and have fun doing the dance off.

might not have enough time for every single student to strut their stuff

i dont think any student would want to dance more than 50 seconds. its a dance off and its easy, very easy to run out of ideas when you're on a spot like that. I think that students will only use about 30 seconds, which helps with the time management. if there is time for round two, then we'll go for round two!
