First Post! About The Project!

Hey folks HEre is the breakdown of what my project is gonna be like:

Scenario:
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

The Foreign Bodies dance group is the resident street dance club of NYP. They have been around since 1994 and are one of the active clubs in the street dance scene.

The club hopes to be able to reach out to more dancers. They want to share the way they function as a club, to be able to tell stories of their past, share their views on dance styles and genres and also show off some of their achievements.

The club also hopes to be able to reach out to the non-dancer, to help educate them about street styles and tackle stereotypes.

Remedy:

Thus, an idea was thought out and they hope they could maybe do up a video compilation of their old and new footages. Dig into archives and put it together to make a short documentary about the club. This could be a first step into stepping out and telling the world about the club.

Also, this video documentary, if made into a CD, can be passed around or given away to people during contests or performances as a gift. It can even be marketed and sold to a dedicated bunch of viewers.

It can also act as a memorabilia for members in many years to come.
