I have chosen to work on my dance skills to meet the required target for this unit. The three target areas i have chosen to improve in are:

Co-ordination

Balance

alignment

Dance skills are important in the performing arts industry as it it a core factor when it comes down to main performances. all musicals feature dance in the big numbers, even if you don't realise, dance is everywhere!

Dance is also used in Musical Theatre to help create energy, excitement, and an overall visual spectacle for the viewers and enjoyers. it can also be used as a story-telling device, being used in a more elegant and light manner This can be seen in the introduction scene for the BSDC Production Of Beauty & The Beast (2024), in which the story of the beast is told in a beautiful and light ballet number which is very easily explainable to everyone and portrays a clear story.

(Morning! Today's forecast calls for blue skies)

The sun is shining in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped raining, everybody's in the play
And don't you know it's a beautiful new day?
Hey, hey, hey

Running down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city, on the streets where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today
Hey, hey, hey

Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (So long)
Where did we go wrong?
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (So long)
Where did we go wrong?

Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, Mr. Blue Sky's up there waiting
And today is the day we've waited for
Ah, ah, ah

Oh, Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (So long)
Where did we go wrong?

Hey there, Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around, see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Hey there, Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around, see what you do
Everybody smiles at you

(Mr. Blue Sky)
(Mr. Blue Sky)
(Mr. Blue Sky-y)

Mr. Blue, you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night
Creeping over, now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind, I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way

Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (So long)
Where did we go wrong?

Hey there, Mr. Blue (Sky)
We're so pleased to be with you (Sky)
Look around, see what you do (Blue)
Everybody smiles at you

Ballet in Musical theatre has been around for a while now, from it just being used for basic ballet dance, all the way to 'Dream Ballet.'

Dream Ballet is a performance that is all in dance, no-singing production in Musical theatre. They usually run as a normal piece, however the big difference in Dream Ballet is that it is professional dancers instead of actors in the performance.

In the UK production of Cabaret at the KitKat Club (specifically, Im not waffling abput any others), Jazz dance played a significant role in enriching the musical's aesthetic.

With its dynamic movements and syncopated rhythms, Jazz brought an electrifying energy to the stage, complementing the overall mood and atmosphere of the production.

But one question stands tall (not actually, dawn just wants me to talk about it, thanks dawn 🙏):

Why Jazz was Chosen for the Musical?

Well you see, the director of the production, Rebecca Frecknall, chose jazz dance as a key element in the musical's aesthetic for several reasons, some of them being:

- Jazz dance is known for its expressive and energetic qualities, making it a perfect fit for the vibrant and eggy setting for the Musical

- Its improvisational nature allowed the dancers to showcase their individuality and create unique performances that resonated with the vibes the musical.

Frecknall was drawn to jazz dance for its historical significance within the cabaret culture, adding an authentic stamp to the production and enhancing the overall viewing experience for the audience.

I hope this is enough for you Dawn. Please don't punish us, you're my favourite teacher and I will buy you chocolates at the end of the year if you don't do it, I know you have it in you 💜💜🙏🙏🙏🙏
