Understanding how to warm up on Barre work!

This clip will demonstrate what barre work we undertake within our training lessons at Shockout Arts to ensure we are ready for centre work. Ballet classes all run aside each other as there is a set layout for how a class should be run. I have also become aware about warming up using a method called floor barre, which helps oil the hip joints and feet.

When learning the foundations of ballet you learn to understand the different positions of the feet, the creator of these positions is Pierre Rameau who later on credited the positions to choreographer Pierre Beauchamp.

In the 1920s, '30s and '40s, dancer/choreographer Lester Horton developed a dance technique based on Native American dances, anatomical studies and other movement influences. In addition to creating his technique and choreographing a number of works, Horton established the Lester Horton Dance Theater, one of the first permanent theaters dedicated to modern dance in the U.S., in L.A. in 1946. (It closed its doors in I960.) He was also among the first choreographers in the U.S. to insist upon racial integration in his company-in his 1995 autobiography, Revelations, Alvin Ailey wrote, "What it came down to was that, for Lester, his art was much more important than the color of a dancer's skin." Horton's legacy is perhaps most visible today in Ailey's work, and Horton technique is the foundation for masterpieces.

Although during out Jazz lessons with Eric we focus on Matt Mattox technique it is important to understand who evolved jazz as its codified technique.

Luigi was known as the father of Jazz since he is credited to be the person who created Jazz technique.

This clip is a short sections off choreography we where asked to retain and perform for our assessment. The different dynamics in the routine give us the chance to expand on it in our own style.

This video was taken at the start of semester 1 while training at Shockout arts.  This was out first piece of choreography that was given to us by Eric, within the routine it included pirouettes, different arm lines and linking steps. Looking at my performance within this short clip shows weak arm lines and poor technique in the pirouette position. Looking back at this clip reminds me how much more i have improved and expanded my vocabulary.

During semester 1 within my Jazz lessons we learnt the different port des bras within the Matt Mattox technique. Key points to understand within the technique are your arm and head lines, for example on the first one your head must be attached to your back.  There are also numerous contraction points within the sequences that gives dynamic to the port de bras.

-Lack of holding turn out.
-Use of full Pointe was not executed fully.
- A relaxed arm i second position.
