13. Why I chose a dance Competition… I chose to do a dance competition to be my event because I dance and compete; therefore it was a subject I have a lot of background knowledge on. I decided that it would be interesting to see how a dance competition is planned, since I’ve been to quite a few myself. I also found that I would have the necessary resources to help me with this assignment, but also that this assignment would be challenging for me, hence more fun to do.
