Week 4 (Conclusions)

So far from what I know about my subculture I can make a few conclusions. I know that they are open to sharing information about their subculture in any way. They are willing to share rituals, secrets about getting ready or learning their practices. So I am happy to know that I won't be prying into them about anything. I am going this Friday to visit my field site and learn more though, so I am very excited! I think mainly that this subculture (high school dance team) would be the same at any high school for the most part. However, everywhere you go, of course there are going to be different personalities made up within the team. Also the teams might be different in the types of dances that they do, and the rituals like practices might be slightly different as well. But, as far as their language and group terms that they would be using, I'm sure it would all be relatively the same. This subculture is located in a very country area. It is mainly surrounded by corn fields and three very little towns. So everybody knows everybody on the team, and altogether in the whole school. A difference between locations at a different school would probably also have more students and maybe a little more difficult to make it onto the team.
