In the FIRST paragraph (at least 200 words):
· Using three terms from the Dance Elements & Vocabulary Guide, identify the dance elements in the Swan Lake excerpt and explain specifically how they are shown in the video (please put your three dance terms in bold).
· Identify Swan Lake as either Classical Ballet or Modern Dance.

· Identify how both these dance compositions (Swan Lake and Night Journey) are “interdisciplinary” (i.e. are related to one or more of the disciplines in humanities we have studied so far). Please provide at least one specific example of this interdisciplinary connection.
