The base of the project

After this week of researching and doing some reporting, I automatically kept having new ideas for stories and just understanding better what I am looking for. By exploring my topic through websites, films, and talking to people during this week, it has helped me clarify and finalize my general topic for this project.
Starting from a broad topic which was types of dance, I came to narrow it down into a more specific research topic. I can now say that my storyline is to explore different dance communities and their audiences in Baltimore.
This storyline includes three specific stories. The main story that will capture the essence of the project will be about Baltimore’s most popular type of dance; what are people dancing; the difference between artistic and popular dance; influence of movies like ‘Step Up 1 and 2.’ For this story my sources will include owners of a ballroom studio, a couple of hip-hop dancers and choreographers, and university dance professors.
The second story will look at a more artistic point of view by examining how people in Baltimore appreciates dance; how many people gets into classes as a hobby or as a real passion, how often people go to recitals and performances in theatres. In this story I would like to include more of an expertise opinion from dance professors. I would also like to incorporate a point of view from students to capture a real and non-professional side. Also quotes from owners of dance studios to examine the number of people taking classes.
The third story will be more of a profile feature about someone interesting like a choreographer or a student (still have not decided) who has had a fascinating background in dance or an out of the ordinary dancing experience. For this story my sources will be either a dance student or someone with a strong passion about dance. Furthermore I will interview people acquainted to the main source to get as much feedback as possible.
