additional thoughts to observation 2

I think the thing that surprised me and intrigued me the most was the fact the the professor just mostly stood to the side and watched the students. Even though it was surprising to me, I thought it was most interesting because I was able to realize that even though you may be a professional dancer and teacher, that observing your own students is very important and by watching them you can also learn about dance more and about each student's indivdual bodies, which is highly important when teaching. There was nothing disturbing to be about that aspect or any other aspect in the matter. The most boring thing to me was the fact that I was just watching the students work with each other, but really it was not all that boring because I liked to see how the students acted around and towards on another. My first and second observation was watcing Elana Lanzci, but I was able to see two different sides to her. In the first observation, I saw her really give hands on instructions to the students, while the second observation was her expecting much of her students in remembering the choreography from last semester and working with each other to help each other.
