Below is my core techniques essay.

This indicates how nervous and uptight I was. I hold tension in my shoulders when being nervous which had a huge effect on the way I danced in this solo. This enhanced the bad musicality causing everything to lack in confidence and attack. Therefore, I decided I wanted to make a change and look as terrified while dancing as I do on here.

This is a more recent video which indicates my knowledge of dynamics and musicality which have both improved this year. In addition, I have also grown slightly within confidence throughout the year as commercial was never my strong point however, now I am trying to embrace my inner confidence to the outer side of my body which is a huge contrast to last year.

Within this Horton exercise it uses space which I have confidence doing, however to enhance the use of space I could improve on using full extensions throughout  to exaggerate movement. This is a confidence issue which I have had since I was young, it is something I need to develop as a dancer and grow in due to the amount of knock downs this causes.

After 8 physio sessions it is finally starting to get its flexibility back, however I am still very restricted.

Turning and kicking with a pulled hamstring.

# data[].attributes.body
Due to my injury of a torn hamstring I was not able to perform a full extended kick on the left. This caused me to rest for 2 weeks and over easter "A hamstring injury can occur if any of the tendons or muscles are stretched beyond their limit." (NHS, 2018) implying I had over worked that leg.

This is section A of my current jazz turns which allowed me to improve within my core stability and balance. This indicates how I am now able to spot and stay in line.

This is section A of jazz Chaînê turns from the corner which only has two chaînés. Personally I really struggled with these as I could never have my feet in a tight fifth position while turning which effected my balance causing me to go off to a diagonal line. Moreover, I also struggled majorly with spotting "Dancer's try to hit a perfect balance between using muscle to turn their head around and "help the turn" within gripping or tightening muscles too much". (Ballet hub, 2019) This explains how I end up gripping too much.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a ballet développé which enhances the use of extension and alignment of the leg. For me this is still difficult as I often grip within my thigh to try and get my leg above 90 degrees. However this contradicts what I am trying to achieve as a tense thigh acts as a barrier, therefore stops my leg from going further. This suggests I still need to practice without tensing and focus on releasing the thigh causing an embodied dancer.

This is my Grande Battement from last year. Shocking! This implies how through mature technique training and hot steam room stretching it is possible to have a larger extension.

# data[].attributes.body
Grande Battement requires control which I have only completely understood myself this year. This suggests the development of technique within my progression from last year to this year including flexibility improvements and core stability to hold my leg high. However I often sickle my foot at the end. This indicates how I need to push the stretch from my thigh right up to my toes.

This suggests the use of coordination which I often struggle with due to the quickness of moves and less time to think about things. However, recently this has improved as I am now able to coordinate without pausing to think first.

This is a correct flat back which took me a while to place and feel the correct placements within my own body. This indicates how my arm positions are all within feeling where they are without looking in the mirror due to the head placement being downwards.

# data[].attributes.body
Within Hortons technique I study flat backs which I struggled to get the correct alignment of my arms. This caused an incorrect posture.

This indicates the similarities of a contemporary contraction and a jazz
