Narrative:
While on downwind during a training flight in the traffic pattern during a time of very heavy activity; as I began to turn base there was another aircraft slightly above and behind me. I immediately took evasive action by descending and turning away from the other aircraft. We had both been announcing our positions on CTAF but were not aware of how close we were to each other.
