Hello,
I would appreciate if a Mod could please edit/trim this short answer for the common app::: In the space provided below, please elaborate on one of your activities (extracurricular, personal activities, or work experience)(150 words or fewer). :
Bhangra, a high energy Indian folk dance, is a growing phenomenon in North America. Two summers ago, my Bhangra troop was invited to participate in a dance competition. My team entrusted me with the responsibility of choreographing our number. I took on the challenge of planning the dance steps and arranging them into an expressive and meaningful performance. It turned out that handling a group of eight individuals was not as easy as it sounded. Countless hours passed in arguments and no two people seemed to agree on anything. I had to remind the team to focus on the big picture of winning the competition. After two months of hard work and heartaches, the dance became a joy and we were awarded first place at the competition. But it turned out we were not dancing for the prize anymore; rather, we were dancing for the joy of Bhangra. Choreographing Bhangra dances tested my limits of creativity, rhythm, leadership, and motivation. I learned how to cope with pressure, how to remain focused, and most of all, the importance of group cooperation.
