ACI3622 Feedback Response

My feedback response to Module ACI3622

As I now start Module 3 I have been thinking about what changes I can make to my inquiry to improve it using the feedback I received from my supervisor.

Firstly my inquiry title was- 'Are there pressures put on the way dancers should look?' However
I can now see that I have already answered my inquiry question within my essay, therefore rather than my inquiry being a direct question I will take the approach of ‘how and why are there pressures put on the way dancers should look?’. It is more about finding out more about something I have noticed and being able to understand it more in depth. 

Therefore this is my updated inquiry- 'How and why are there pressures put on the way dancers should look?’.


I have decided to interview male and female dancers along with the people who may actually be putting pressure on performers. For example, choreographers and dance teachers. I believe this will give me more perspective and will answer my questions of how and why do dancers feel pressure. I will also not be discussing eating disorders with the participants as stated on my More form.

I will not only be researching in to dancers but athletes too, along with their experiences. Journal articles such as ‘Sports in Society’ and ‘Journal of dance education’ will be very useful during my inquiry and will allow me to have more perspective.

During this final module I am going to be more clear about why I have chosen this topic, it will support my teaching along with supporting and understanding my colleagues and keeping myself healthy within the dance industry.
