HW1: Background of the survey

        I am already done with my Chapter 1 in which in this chapter it discussed more about on why I came up with this study, and how will I conduct this study. It also includes my statement of the problem which is, "What factors can be considered to classify Ballet as a competitive sport." Also, you can see here that I stated the significance of the study and its scope and limitations. It also contains here what are the things I found out about Ballet that makes me think that it should be considered as a sport. I found out that there were some common characteristics between Ballet and other sports such as gymnastics and skating. And also, ballet also undergo training just like every athlete do. They also have this maintaining weight so that they were able to perform well, just like athletes were. These are just some of the common characteristics that I found out as I was doing my research for this study.
. 
       As I continue to this study, there are still some things I don't know about my study. Here are some things that I still need to know as I go on with my study. I want to know the other factors that will is really common among dancers and athletes. I also want to know how did ballroom dancing became a sport. 

     The people I think that can answer my questions are those people who loves dancing and sport at the same time, and those people who have been part of such things. I guess, dancesport contestants or performers can also answer my question.

The first question I will ask is if they think that Ballet can be a sport. This question is important because I want to know how many people will agree that ballet can be a sport. The next question would be, "Do you think ballerinas are also competitive?" And I think that this is important because I will be able to find out that ballerinas are also competitive in other people's point of view. Lastly, I will ask them in what sport is ballet more closely related with. This question is important because it will help me to identify in which sport I will focus more that is closely related to ballet.

       Using this study, I am expecting that many people will agree that ballet can also be as competitive as the other sports. That in the future, ballet will be now considered as one of the competitive sports. And that this study will be beneficial to all especially to the Ballerinas who want to compete.
