Grooveprints (undergrad thesis)
Grooveprints is a visual-based approach to teaching Filipino folk dance. The product is a dance kit that contains a set of dance and practice mats.
Mechanics.
For this project, I chose the Jota Cabangon for its ballroom-like repetitiveness, time signature, symmetry, and song/dance form. I then proceeded to break down into sections and patterns.

Now put it all together. :)
Add hand movements!
Exhibit and packaging.
