I think Dancing is a great way to get your body moving and to release stress, which can improve your mood. It can also be a great way to socialize and meet new people.so I choose garda as my dance form to learn. Garba is a form of dance which originates from the state of Gujarat in India. garba is something I always wanted to learn I think its also a good way of exercising and would improve my coordination skills . so this Navaratri i learned garba by attending garba class a month . I am really happy that I learned garba I think it is truly a great experience

LO2: Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process.

This experience was one of the experience i was most nervous about but the whole process of learning this new experience was really great overall .i already knew the basic form of garda but i want to take this opportunity and try to get better at it so this year before the festival of Navaratri i joined garba classes 1 month prior in order to learn new skills one of the challenges face by me during this experience was that I face difficulty in coordinating my movements and also some time it made me feel a little self-conscious about my abilities . However, with practice and perseverance, i was able to overcome these challenges and gain some new skills. It also presented me with a challenge of increased awareness and appreciation of myself.

LO4: Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences 

Dance (garba) requires commitment and perseverance in order to learn and improve. it was a little hard for me to put  time and effort to learn garba and shows that I am committed to the activity and I was willing to work hard to improve these skills.

LO5: Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively
