internal assesment
... raw data was collected and formed a chart (proceeding page). Then organized into a bar graph to show the frequency of each event, A frequency is how many times an event occurs. For each question the student could answer yes or no. For each question one mus count the number of times a student answered yes and the number of times each student answered no. For each group, studio and high school, separate bar graphs were made (A,B).

Those who answered no, also scored lower then those who answered yes. This outcome is logical. Many studies show, such as the Rhythm of Dance Boot Camp, that eating a well balanced diet will improve your bodies physical health, and thus improve your ability to perform perfect technique. Question 2: Statistics from the Rhythm of Dance Boot Camp and Urban Dance studies also support the results of question two. The results showed that a well rested dancer would be able to improve the leap. Only two of the nineteen girls replied no to this question. Those two girls also fell in the bottom 20th percentile of the scores. Questions 3,4, and 5: In the next three questions the girls were asked whether in school dance or out of school dance lessons would ultimately improve your chance of performing the best right dance leap. From this analysis, I received more then yes and no answers. The majority of the girls felt both had a positive impact on one’s dance techniques. Out of school dance gave them an exact break down of a step by step right dance leap. In school dance gave them competition and peers to push them. Questions 6,7, and 8: The overbearing idea that confidence in yourself will give you the power yo achieve anything was relevant in my study. My interview with Deanna Sexton, the judge in my study of t the leaps, the Rhythm of Dance Boot Camp, and the Urban Dance studies all comply with this idea. The statistical information in my study complies with my results. Only two of the girls who answered yes to question 7 scored below the top 20th percentile of the scores. None of the girls who scored about the top 20th percentile answered yes to question 8. This data shows that confidence does play a relevant role in achieving the best dance leap.

The first step was to find what aspects the average student would have. The equation to find the average where f is equal to the frequency, x is equal to the variable, and n is equal to the total number of variables is as follows: Example: Average Age = 2(14)+ 4(15)+6(16)+4(17)+3(18) = 306 = 16.1 19 19 Average: Age of all Students = 16.1 years Weight of all Students = 136 lbs. Height of all Students = 5.41 feet Leg Length of all Students = 3.09 feet Years of Dance Experience of all Students = 6.21 years Height of Leap of all Students = 3.41 feet Distance traveled of all Students = 3.27 Score of all Students = 6.03 The next step to take is to find out what characteristics not to have. ...
