Evolution of Western Dance

Today I will write about a website about the "Evolution of Western Dance". The website shows from 1800 to 2000. It shows the orgins of the dancing or music and shows where it starts from and then goes to. It also shows the locations where they start which are Africa, Trinidad Gtobago, Jamaica and India. There is also a place in India called Goa. There also is Europe and more specific locations such as UK, London, Germany, Belgium, Bristol, and Manchester. The other location is the USA and places in the USA like, New York, Detroit, Chicago, Miami, the southern states like Memphis, and New Orleans.
You can use the mouse to move from 1800 to 2000 so that the website shows arrows starting from one point labeled with a kind of dance and going to different locations and labeling where another dance started.

The Design Squad Website Review


On the Design Squad Website you can register and make up a nickname and create a password. Then, you can make a sketch, make a wish, and make a prototype!
You can play games, such as "Figdit" and "String Thing," and when you're tired of those fun games, you can build things!
The Design Squad Website has a great application that teaches you fun crafts and building challenges, such as a "Rubber Band Car" and a "Hidden Buzzer." Keep a eye on The Hillwood Herald, and you will be able to watch and read about our efforts to do these challenges.
The Design Squad Website is safe and fun to play! Below is a screen grab, or image, from the latest episode about a girl in London growing and driving her own food around her Camden Town neighborhood.
