I would like to watch modern dance because I don't think I could sit there watching a very, very slow dance. I would rather watch a dance that is full of action and fast music.

The dance I would do is the modern dance I would do the modern dance because it looks cooler than the Noh.There is jumping in it and right at the very end everyone jumps at the same time.

Class,

I would choose modern dances over the Noh because I think the masks they were are pretty creepy because the eyes follow you.But I still say its pretty cool at how old they are because 700 years! Thats a long time.

Class,
I would rather watch a modern dance because it is faster music and they could jump higher than a basketball player, I think that's awesome. I also would like to watch it because they have rhythmic music and they have more energy. They also play loud music so that the crowd can hear it. I made my decision based on the facts from the book because the details were jumping out at me and it sounded fun to watch.

I would rather watch modern dance because it is a faster tempo. Also, some of them can jump higher than basketball players. I think that is really cool.Their music is faster and louder. It is also rhythmic so everyone dances to the beat. I like how they move faster and they show that they have a lot of energy. My sister is also a very good dancer and I like to support her. This is why I'd rather watch modern dance.

I would do modern dance instead of Noh for many reasons. First of all, modern dance is all about actions and Noh is all about small details. Second of all, I am more used to modern dance then Noh. Thirdly, modern dace is filled with really music and Noh is filled with fine music. This is why I rather do modern dance then Noh.

I would rather modern dancing because I like hip hop and like keely said I don't want to watch people go really slow like a turtle

Dear class,
I would rather watch the Noh rather than a modern dance because it is apart of a culture and I have always been interested in the Japaneses culture.But I would rather dance to the modern dance because I am used to dancing to it and it would also be much more fun and it is not so slow.

Dear class,
I would rather watch a modern dance because the modern dances have a lot more action than the Noh dances that don't have very many dance movements. The facts that prove this is that modern dances are faster and louder and also attract a lot more people.

I think I would like the modern better than the Noh because the modern has a faster beat and I like to see dancers test them selfs with the modern.
