Kenyada Clayton Wikipedia's Choreography article for ENGL1101.27

Analysis of Article

The article I have chosen is very short and doesn't really have alot of good information. It just give the basics like telling what choreography is and the different types. The way they explain choreography makes it seems so boring when its actually fun if you enjoy dancing. The article gives some good facts like the different techniques you use when coming up with the choreography, but they don't really explain it in the article. I will try to explain choreography in a different way giving more supporting detials and more facts. I will try to explain the different movements and techniques. I will also try to bring life to the article.
