For English in the documentary unit, we discovered a topic close to our family or community that we found interesting and undiscovered. We wrote a paper exploring and explaining an aspect of it that we thought gave it a different perspective that we believed that a majority of the public might be unaware of. The subject I decided to investigate was an ancient Indian dance form, called Bharatanatyam, that has widespread influences throughout the world. It was a subject I was familiar with because I'd been to several beautiful performances with these Indian dancers and constantly heard notices of it within the Indian community, so I thought it would be an interesting subject to enlighten those who were unacquainted with it. I decided to interview some practicers of the dance to understand the appeal of the dance and appreciate its place in so many communities around the world.
