The one thing I really love about Vicky's class that she never force us to be like her. Cyphers is a thing that people easily feel stressful especially for people who had years classical training before, however she told us doesn't has to be like a popper or specific style in the cypher, we can allow ourselves just open mind to be in the middle of circle and feel supportive by our peers. At that moment, I decided to let myself listen to the music and not force my self to hit the beats and doing something I feel comfortable in the circle. Once I decided to follow my own style, I am not limit in the class's style, I could also present cunningham curved, ballet arms and floorwork duing cypher and gradually mix the streetdance I just learn being a part of my movement. In the future, it is really importany that what is your dance style and it must from all the class you learned and being my fusion, I think it is also considerable to put that idea into teaching because you can find everyone is so individual and embrace yourself as a dancer, body mover, choreogher. During Cypher here I can generally find my ownstyle and my confidence, also gathering with people surrounding you. It is a treasure gift from the teacher and for everyone's growth.

When we doing the class by Kate Scott, she is really focus on basic training instead of fancy combination on the bar work which I really appreciated it in particular in the importance of supporting leg that we need to stand on our leg not realy on the bar. Aslo I feel she is really emphasis on Port De Bras and I can feel the different energy and easier to do the centre work if I could move my arms properly with my body especially when we do pirouette. Therefore your arm is not as a decoration on the air but really sense the finger in every movement also I feel the same with cunnuingham we learened from last term. I watched the videos and noticed that my nerve endings usually looks really dead or hanging on my body but not doing any function to help my performance better. Moreover, transfer weight are extremely important in both ballet and cuningham because we have to transfer quickly to the other leg as a next supporting so that we are able to reach the music on time and not tangle with feet. I think it is really helpful for me to think about the coordination in both styles and able to do more dynamic in classcial styles.

The connection in flying low and floorwork

It is the first time to have flying low class in my life and it was so confused in the first class. When Julia mentioned ''gatehring'' and ''sending'', me and my friend we tried to figure out what kind of movement could be these two differet things, and I noticed that gathering is about putting your energy inside of yuor body and feel the inner energy but not close your body; sending is about project your energy to the space and release it to the whole space. Also we have to look around in the space so we are not only dance for ourself but moving with your group which I find this concept makes me think about floorwork from last term. When we were doing Lewis's phrase, he always tell us to sending energy through your finger and make it more dynamic. I feel flying low is the best class for me to train my body to do more dynamic in the space instead of being looks like the same woth other people in the space. We sending and gathring our energy together nut not mimic to other ones.

In this term, it is interesting that our schechle has ballet and popping at the same time and we don't normally there is any connection between these two styles. However, during Vicky's popping class she talked about a lots musicality to fit with the music and beats. I find out that is really helpful for me to finding deeper muscle when I doing popping and also I can bring that energy to classcal music too. Ballet is a really historical exercise that has many rules and details but also teacher normally doesn't give proper ''counts'' , they usually give ballet terminology and we have to listen to music and put every movement to fill the music and that is somehow I strongly feel the same with popping class. Also how can we use that sense to do ballet with hip hop music and popping with classical music? I feel it is the way that we can combine these two different style and also improve our choreography in the future.

We have final intense two weeks for alston rep, and our group led by Elly Braund. First of all, I feel there is much more mental challenge than physical, and it is more hard to remember the phrase compared to our regular class because of this piece has the choreographer's own style and unique rhythm for movement. At beginning, it feels hard to reach the progression and also I started digest lots information. How can I understand the purpose behind the movement and what is the texture that the audience will feel attractive during that music. I recorded myself and I keep feeling unsatisfied what I present in the video. Looking back to all the dance practice we did this term, this piece do including the body line we learned in Cunningham technique; the dimension changing in floorwork; the grooving in locking.

Also we really need to navigate the space with peers and it is the thing we learn during the class but not really aware of that, we have to do our material together instead of only showing yourself so that is another lesson to me which is maximum your expression when perform but sensitive to people surrounding you at the same time.

1. Rhythm :  The beat of the music can set the pace for the exercise, providing a sense of rhythm and timing. I think this can help me stay focus and engaged more in the class.

2. Motivation : Sometimes proper music can helping me to push through difficult stretches or poses.

3. Relaxation :  Calming music can help me to relax during floor work. Soft, slow music with a gentle melody can help me to slow breathing and enter relaxation.

4. creativity : Some people may find that certain types of music inspire them to be more creative and experimental with their floor work. For example, classical music may inspire more fluid  movements, while electronic music may encourage more dynamic movements.

From last term to this term, I experienced that dance fitness and pilates were two different types of exercise with distinct approaches and goals.

Dance fitness focus often on building strength, endurance, and raise heart rate. How we corporate with fatigue after high intense movement such as jumps and traveling around the space. I gradually used to endure fast pace exercise and push myself more after several weeks in dance fitness and I feel more confident with different types of exercise such as push up, lunge and squat and so on.

On the other hand, Pilates is a low-impact exercise that aims to strengthen he body, improve flexibility and balance, and enhance body awareness. It focuses on developing core strength, proper alignment, and controlled breathing, rather than building muscle or cardiovascular fitness.

Overall, it is a balance between dance fitness and pilates and i do believe that it helps me perform better in other physical classes.

-more dynamic and brave
-curve in first position only upper back, extend the spine not arch the lower back, keep pelvis in the same position and do not push back.(smaller movement and feeling more power inside from body)
-when we doing circle, it is left hand curve circling to the centre and up, transfer to right hand and extend the upper back them finish the circle(not arch your back).

# data[].attributes.body
When I observe myself in mirrors, I notice I usually have higher centre position and my body too straight in locking, however we should move more forward with curve back and release wrist more also 'lock' in the position therefore the movement is able to looks better and clear.
It is also happen in other contemporary dance techniques, I don't really dig into the floor and it cause my movements a bit floating sometimes and hard to do fast pace transitions.

1. Torso and Legwork

Cunningham Technique develops clarity, strength and flexibility in both the spine and legwork. The torso and legs are used either in coordination or opposition to one another.

2.Spatial Awareness

Spatial Awareness is gained by implementing multiple changes of direction within a single phrase where any point in the space can be the dancer's front. In more advanced work, various parts of the body move simultaneously in multiple directions.

3.Rhythmic Accuracy

A variety of meter and tempo are given throughout the class to build a foundation for rhythmic precision and dynamic movement.

we have learn 4 different sequences in the past two weeks, and each phrase has different focus and i realism that pacing is also really important in floorwork and equal to directions. Once you remember the directions in different counts and you are able to adjust your pace in the each movement to create more quality.

# data[].attributes.body
In this term, i feel i need to take more time to figure out more details in the floor work sequences. It is hard to see the whole scenario when we are learning the phrase on the floor because my brain has blind spot to automatically ignore those little details and I feel i couldn't really figure out how can floorwork being more 'flow'.

# data[].attributes.body
-connection more with momentum
-giving weight more (head, arm, leg)
-too position
-don't skip things and make things bigger
-grounding feet and landing
-push and pulling getting better but more conscious
-clarity(reaching through the feet)

When we practice floorwoek after class, i find out that even I'm kind of flexible in ballet however i looks not really soft in the floor work exercises. It reminds me that i need to be more relax and exhale during the movements therefore my body have more space for different direction services

In this day, Jeannie offer us an extra alignment coaching class to look at things and correction for pile and different positions in Cunningham. It was really helpful because i have more experience in Graham technique therefore i have been confusing in the basic muscle used during the class. she taught me how i should relax my gluteus and use deeper core muscle then I am able to extend my spine and feel easy breath in that position.

In the past few weeks, I found it is really hard to do locking with body grooving at the same time. During the class, we started with foundation elements of locking: points, locks, double locks, wrist rolls... and then adding individual style: Scooby Doo, Scooby Walk, Skeeter Rabbit and so on.
When we doing these steps in class, I always lost my upper body and our teacher Sam reminds us could start with the beat first and add more steps gradually.

moving from a standing position to the ground, and gathering the strength required to return to vertical. Finding a resilient, easy relationship with the floor is essential; it allows dancers to increase their versatility and movement efficiency. “Without floorwork, you’re limiting yourself to 50 percent of your potential,” says Benny Simon of Dance New Amsterdam in New York City.
