The Believe Project is a labor of love. it is a dance workshop that Amber Salo's has dreamt of creating since she was a teenager and it is also a major project supporting her thesis research as a graduate student at the University of Northern Colorado.
The goal of this dance workshop event is to create and direct an original one-day dance workshop to share the mental and emotional benefits of dance with teenage students and young adults that are not otherwise exposed as a result of socio-economic status and or access at the school level. The dance event will answer the following questions:
1) In what ways does dance present itself as an integral art form, particularly for teenagers?
2) What benefits (mental, emotional, and social) occur when teenagers study dance?
3) What life(style) changes can students make to include dance in their lives in order to reap its benefits?
The ultimate goal of the thesis is to increase awareness of the benefits of dance for the youth making dance more approachable and accessible. As part of the graduate thesis project, the research will assist the researcher and future readers of the final thesis in understanding the mental and emotional benefits of dance for students that have never been exposed to dance in a private or school setting.
