No, I must dance!

For my chosen word I went with "Dance". I chose this word because I have quite a lot of experience of dance and thought it would be really interesting to see what 32 images I could create based around this word. I started off by doing some research of different types of dance because I wanted to look at how different peoples bodies move in certain ways and how they express themselves through dance.

I was already aware that dance in itself is a very expressive thing, but I wanted to pay a lot of attention to the movements people go through, especially in ballet and contemporary which consist of a lot of elongation of the limbs. Although this seems like quite an obvious one, I still wanted to produce some drawings focusing on this sort of thing, looking mainly at how people can move themselves. 

I have always had a particular interest in ballet because it is something I have done since I was small, so I wanted to also focus on the less "pretty" side of it in order to create some some quite strange drawings.
