I have spent this week finalising my data collection methods for my inquiry. I originally decided to use questionnaires and a focus group. However, following the Skype call with Adesola I have reflected on these methods and now consider that they are not the best choice for my inquiry.
I previously aimed to speak to other professional dancers, like myself about their fitness training regimes and the role that fitness plays for them in their practice. Upon reflection, this is something that I can draw information from through my own reflective journal and video log and I would not gain any further significant insights through this process.
During the Skype call we discussed issues around interviews and how they may not be the best method for data collection. However, when discussing my inquiry topic Adesola mentioned that speaking to a specialist in the field could provide me with further insights and thoughts to consider. I have been looking into this and have decided to conduct an interview with a former professional dancer who has now opened a specialist gym.
I have also decided to conduct an online market assessment of the existing specialist fitness trainers for professional dancers.
I am now mapping out my interview questions and working on bringing my draft proposal together.
