Ever since my freshman year of high school, dance has been a passion that I have held extremely close to my heart. Coming to the College of Mount Saint Vincent has only strengthened the passion that I hold so dearly. Since my freshman year of college, I have had the generous opportunity to further nurture my love for dance. During my second and third semester at the Mount, I have danced on Outburst Dance Company, a competitive dance company, and Filiment Dance Troupe, a dance team at the Mount. This semester, I decided to take up the challenge to dance on three dance companies by auditioning for Mint Dance Company, a elite, prestigious competitive dance company. Within the first few weeks of joining Mint, I was immediately overwhelmed by the intensity and pressure placed upon me. However, I began to notice the obvious differences in rehearsal intensities between Mint and Outburst. It began to intrigue me and at times worry me as to how my rehearsals with Outburst would sometimes not live up to the intensity of Mint rehearsals. For this ethnography assignment, I have decided to investigate and examine the similarities and differences of rehearsal patterns between Outburst and Mint, two of my competitive dance companies off campus. In addition, I will also assess productivity and discipline within each rehearsal for both teams.
