My Own Techno Business

Given the chance to have my own techno business discuss its nature and target clients? Well, this is tough. It actually made me think for days but it ended up on something like this. Deciding for a business is not that easy. I should consider a lot of factors that would make my business successful and effective especially when the business must be unique and technology related. I should also give contemplation if the business meets my interests. Interest can be one of the pedestals on choosing the kind of business you will be indulging on. Bearing in mind the things I love and things I am best at made me think on an idea of creating the business that I will be proposing now.

What exactly comes out of my mind after reading this question is a business of online shopping shop since it also corresponds to my interests. I was thinking of doing reselling but as what Sir Randy told us, it is very “manok2” style of business. I think there are already lots of businesses that are like this nowadays. I must discern and come up with a more unique techno business. Before deciding on my business, first I reflected and imagined some situations. I cited the things that I love, the things that I am best at and the things that I am worst and most irritated at. The things I love include surfing the net, texting, eating, sleeping, listening to music, dancing, chit-chatting with friends, I love God, my family, my friends, my YFC service and a lot more. I get irritated with cockroaches, durian, etc. Maybe I am best at dancing and mingling with other people since I love to talk. Perhaps compared to others I am not that excellent in dancing but I really love doing this thing. I always get excited whenever I see people dancing especially when they are really good at it or they do enjoy what they are performing. Oh well yes, I love performing and entertaining! Hahaha, well as I balanced all of these stuffs I found out that music interests me a lot but most of all dancing is my passion. It is where I am happy. I love watching dance videos featuring different prominent dance groups, etc. Well so much for that, own techno business? Yes, just a proposal. Nowadays we can observe that there are lots of dance schools that are present in our country. They help many performers or even those who are not dancers but wishes to be good at this field, as well as to learn and nurture skills on dancing. Not just one genre but various kinds of dances. With this I have decided to propose an online dance school that would teach dancing online.

Putting this kind of business proposal into action is quite difficult so I think of just integrating this idea to a dance school that is already operating or has been established. I can propose a website that offers different services that will coordinate their way of teaching dances. Since they already has their students it will not be that hard to advertise their online site or online tutorial class/school where students that have no time to enroll and go to a dance school can still have a chance to learn different dances and to develop their talent on dancing. It will also be more convenient to some individuals who don't have access to dance classes in their town. It will be more affordable for those who are not accessible to the dance schools. This could also be effective on those who have passion on dancing or we can say they want dancing as their second course. Since they don’t have enough time to enroll on a normal dance school due to let’s say time, they will be not worrying anymore given that they can learn dances anytime they want by simply accessing internet and going to this online school site.

Every school has their mission and vision on educating and imparting their knowledge on their students. As well as this kind of school, This online dance school will provides opportunities, enjoyment and also methodology for community youth or the students to extend their dance experience and nurture their passion for dancing through the exploration of various dance genres and dance-related education as far as they wish their training to take them through the medium of internet and a website. This online dance school envisions the following:

• A fostering and safe online based dance school, enabling students to find the trust needed to explore different styles of dance.
• Faculty committed to the acknowledgment of the unique learning style of each student, helping each student to improve to the best of their ability.
• An eclectic way of teaching designed to give students a broad range of dance and dance-related educational experiences.
• Instruction that is directed at only at videos but also promotes the joy and mental and physical well-being that dance can provide.
• A way of enjoying student’s hobby at the same time by learning and becoming efficient graduates.
• To deveop confidence, healthier life style and positive attitude towards things.
• To promote camaraderie and share faculties with others.

Thus our vision is to get students to level where they are encouraged to continue a career in dance and to have a level of enjoyment that will continue that the desire through online tutorials and videos.

What will be the content and services of the online dance school website. It may have:
There will be a homepage where it shows the vision and mission of our online school. It is also where promotions and sample videos for free can be seen in able to catch netizens attention especially for those who love dancing. There will also be a tab allocated for free streaming of limited dance tutorial videos. Simple dance steps can be taught. These are mainly for advertisement and to exhibit different styles and the efficiency of the school. This portion of the site can display basic steps of various dance genres.

An online registration section, it is where the students will undergo enrollment procedures. Students will sign up forms that will ask personal information such as their name, contact number and facts regarding on their interest and experiences on dancing. What are the specific dance genre they are more into, etc.

Another segment in the site is the actual page for learning this will be the page that will be reserved for the students. This page has different sections with different kinds of dances. Each genre has three different levels to finish.

• Start-uppers - everyone should undergo with this level. It is more on basic steps which will be incorporated with some intermediate type of dance steps. At this level, you get a basic warm with instructions on how to do it and what you should be careful about during the exercises, which will improve your co-ordination and stamina. We mainly work with the beats at this level. This level serves as the starting point for the students.

• Entertainers – This level is an advanced level. The difficulty of steps in this level is more advanced. The exercises are more difficult. You can learn the basic body and arm waves at this level. In the choreographies we do more isolation and the steps are more complex. You get the chance to learn different types of dance routines. We start to use the music at this level. This level is for those who already passed the beginners level because they will definitely know the basics.

• Great Performers – This level are for those who had passed the two past levels. They are expected to be great dancers already. If you are in this level, that means you already have very good co-ordination, you are aware of every direction, your stamina is excellent, and you can dance with good isolation and energy. Because of this, the dance exercises are more difficult and the physical exercises are different too. At this level, the choreographies are complex and challenging, and demand a deeper understanding of all aspects of music. The dance routines are more varied.

• Choreographers- This level is optional. This level is the special portion where you are given the chance to show your own choreographies and creativity in making your own routines. There will be chances that you might be chosen to be one of the online instructors. The entries will be viewed by the administration and could possibly choose potential dancers that will be

The rule before proceeding to other level states that you must complete the requirements of each level such as uploading your recorded dance performances that corresponds to the level of difficulty that you belong or maybe when in the higher level you will be needed to perform with a group and to perform live at the school. The students will not be allowed to continue or to advance to the higher level without passing all levels in the lower segments of the hierarchy.

Log in and Log out system. This will be implied also for identification purposes. Students need to log in before they can access the page for dance lessons to identify on what particular level they belong.

A forum section will be provided for student’s suggestions and reactions for improvement and for evaluation purposes. This page is specially made for interactions between the students and the administrations and also for making interpersonal relationship with other students to promote camaraderie and positive ambiance within the online school. Requests can also be posted in this area. This online dance school must possess a friendly type of environment.

KPOP section. This will also be a special section of the website that will teach different kpop dance hits. Since Korean songs and dances are undeniably hitting on charts and getting so much attention especially from teenagers. This may be another help to get students. This can possibly help for promotions. Maybe this page will be made for free.

For additional profit, there will also be a section that will sell DVDS or CDS or compilations of actual performances not online but at exactly at school by regular students. Some tutorial videos will also be compiled for selling reasons. MP3s can also be bought. If given a chance, a remixing online shop could also be added. Products can be bought through PayPal accounts, etc.

There will also be a gallery for the competitions, actual performance and for the main facilities of the school and also for documentation purposes.

Any proposal and decision that has been made can be amended varying on the choice of the dance school that will integrate with this kind of innovation.

This online dance school will teach different kinds of dances that will fit different forte of students. Our online lessons are taught in a virtual instructional world in the most sophisticated format on the Internet today. Various genres of dance such as what follows:

“Is it magic of the body, or just razor thin girls pulling impossible positions and men in tights? Yes will possibly one of the genres available for learning.”

• Ballet - It serves as a backbone for many other styles of dance, as many other dance genres are based on ballet. Ballet is based on techniques that have been developed over centuries. Ballet dancers have the ability to transport an audience to another world.
“Want more of a modern way of dancing? Hip hop, that’s possibly what you are looking for.”
• Hip Hop - Is a dance style, usually danced to hip-hop music, that evolved from the hip-hop culture. Hip-hop includes various moves such as breaking, popping, locking and krumping, and even house dance. Improvisation and personal interpretation are essential to hip-hop dancing.
“The beauty of it is that it allows a freer dance, which can be initiated by music or by an internal theme or inspiration.”
• Modern Dance - is a dance style that rejects many of the strict rules of classical ballet, focusing instead on the expression of inner feelings. Modern dance was created as a rebellion against classical ballet, emphasizing creativity in choreography and performance.

“Wanna dance showing up one’s culture? Wanna show the beauty of your own country? Folk Dances are said to be perfect for that.”
• Philippine Folk Dances - refers to a variety of dances developed by groups or communities, as opposed to being made up by a choreographer.

What would this kind of business needs? This kind of business will just require a computer unit and enough knowledge for creating a website. A performing arts (dance) school that will be ready for integration for this kind of business proposal for a creative and innovative way of teaching and sharing abilities on dancing. A choreographer of course, dancers and teaching staff. Commonly this will be provided by the school (not the online one). This job will also be needing website develpoers – they will be incharge in maintining the site, video editors – the ones who are responsible for making the video’s for the tutorial and such. Music ministry will work for the music including remixed songs for hip hop dance and for other genre, and researcher(s) for updates and improvements.

This kind of business will help to improve life style exercise. Dancing can be a way of exercising so this is very helpful for different kinds of people from different states of living. This kind of business can help on different aspects. Healthy lifestyle. Dancing helps us burn calories while improving our stamina and have a healthy life. Dancing help you coordinate your movements and develop a nice posture, strong bones and lubricated joints. It can prevent you from illness. Dancing can make us happy and have a positive outlook in life. Dancing can also help us look young. It retards the aging process. As far as I know it can help our heart’s cardiovascular system and increases our lung capacity. Dance improves our memory also by making us recall steps, routines and dance steps making it a great mental exercise for our brains. The big benefit is that increasing mental exercise keeps your mind young, quick, alert and open. Dancing can also entertain viewers. It is a social life for us, while affording us the opportunity to make new friends. Friends helps us grow, make us laugh and support us as we learn. Dance also elevates our mood. Even if we also live with different culture, dancing has no cultural barriers. People from all parts of the world, with different races, meet on the dance floor. Cultural interaction improves our health by expanding our mind and sharing our spirit.

As mentioned earlier the targets of this business are those people who love to dance. Especially those who don’t have a constant leisure time to take up another class such as like this dancing. This kind of business will be offered for special schools that nurture and teaches dances. This will help them to build business not just by land or by personal meet-ups but also through online. With this kind of proposal they can teach dancing in an innovative way through the use of internet services.

Lastly if being asked why choosing this kind of business? For me dancing is my passion. I really love dancing since I was a kid. I am inspired by this hobby in creating this techno business. Dancing brings different kind of satisfaction on my part. It is such a relaxing activity which also gives a lot of benefits. For sure, there are also many people out there who loves dancing as much as i do or even better. Maybe this can help by promoting and helping others to nurture their talents. I have also chosen this kind of business since I think in the present generation the use of computer technology is spread widely. There are online language tutorials and others. So i decided to propose something with the same concept yet different fields and I came out on the this idea. Inspired by love and interest.

I just also learned this phrase from an idol Steve. "People with Passion Can Change the World for the Better" You just have to search or look for what exactly do you want and love and everything else will come out successful. You just have to believe on yourself, have a great amount of confidence, believe on your capabilities and probability chances of running a successful business and reaching your goals will be a big YES! Passion is really a very powerful factor that will help you on your life. You just have to know the things that give you interest and the things that will make you happy doing it because these things can help a lot on making a change. Just also keep your faith in the Lord and let him guide you on the right path. You must also know how to share your learning to others and don’t be greedy and self-centered because this might bring you down.
