IA
Compare High-Scoring vs. Flawed Dance RQs
Below are examples of evaluated RQs from recent Dance IAs. Review the strengths and weaknesses to understand the scoring criteria, and feel free to evaluate your own RQ using the form above.
How does has the incorporation work?
Strengths:
Shows an attempt to pose a question that could involve analysis (uses 'How' question).
Weaknesses:
Specify the dance subject and context (e.g., replace with: How does the incorporation of contemporary hip-hop elements into a specific solo work by a named choreographer influence movement vocabulary and choreographic structure in a 2020–2024 performance context).
In what ways does Kathak choreography performed during Jaipur’s Holi festival function to reinforce local community identity and gender roles within that specific cultural context?
Strengths:
Clear focus on a concrete dance practice (Kathak choreography) within a specific cultural event (Jaipur Holi).
Weaknesses:
Is Dance important?
Strengths:
Centre on dance as the subject and asks about significance/evaluation.
Weaknesses:
Specify a concrete scope to limit the inquiry (for example, identify a style, context, or time period). Example: replace with a phrase like “in New York City's street dance scene since 2000.”
How has the incorporation of motion-capture technology into Wayne McGregor’s studio practice between 2010 and 2020 altered choreographic process and dancers’ embodied decision-making?
Strengths:
Clear focus on a named choreographer and a defined time period.
Weaknesses:

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the ideas from Clastify's Research Question Generator?
Yes. Our Research Question Generator was trained on thousands of high-scoring IB exemplars, and the ideas it generates are designed to align with IB criteria so you can develop research questions that meet the standards.
How does the Research Question Generator work?
Select your subject and category (IA or EE), optionally enter a few keywords or interests, then click Generate. The AI returns research question ideas tailored to your subject, which you can refine further with the tweak tools.
Do I need to enter keywords to generate research questions?
No. You can leave the keyword field blank for instant inspiration, or add a few words about your interests to get more targeted ideas.
Are AI-generated research questions original enough for IB coursework?
Generated questions are starting points aligned with IB expectations. Similar research questions appear across cohorts—what matters is that your investigation or essay content is your own work.
How does the Research Question Evaluator work?
The Research Question Evaluator was trained on thousands of research questions marked by IB-certified examiners. It evaluates your research question using the same IB criteria, helping you understand its strengths and areas for improvement.
How many free generations do I get?
Free users get a limited number of generations per week. Your limit resets weekly. Upgrade to Pro for higher limits and full access to Clastify AI tools.
What makes a strong Dance inquiry question?
A focused question about choreographic intention, movement vocabulary, or cultural/performance context you can evidence through practice and research.
Can personal choreography use generated research questions?
Yes—frame intention, process, and audience effect so reflection stays criterion-aligned.
Should Dance research questions name a work, style, or choreographer?
Yes when possible—concrete anchors keep inquiry analytical rather than purely descriptive.
