Ballet definitiom: 'A form of theatrical dance that has evolved over the past 300 years from its origins in France. It is highly academic in its training and technically demanding in performance. It differs from most other forms of dance in its fundamental requirement of turnout, in which the legs rotate 90 degrees in the hip socket to allow greater freedom of movement. This gives ballet its distinctive line. Pointework is another defining feature.'

In general my classical turned out pirouettes have always been a weak point for me. For a while I would not engage my core or pull up onto my supporting leg enough. I have began putting a lot of focus on my core in all aspects of ballet, which in result is improving my turns. As seen in the video, I fall out of my double into fifth position. Something I need to work on to comfortably land in fifth with perfect control.

In ballet I need to work on using my plié alot more. I understand what muscle groups I need to use I just now need to put them to practice. Incorrect landing has resulted in shin splints in the past, multiple times.

I have always been happy with my simple jeté, however I can feel the difference in them now that I am using the correct muscle groups and not allowing my front foot to slightly turn in. This is a correction I have been working on alot.

My alignment in this video could be better. I should have engaged my core more and I would have had more stability. My left side turns need work.

This is our set ballet assessment plie barre work. Personally I feel like movements such as an added allonge or angled head make a basic exercise far more stylish and graceful. movements such as this can add to a performance factor, which is a mark I am working to improve upon from my formatives.

We use flat backs and laterals in a contemporary warm up to engage our core and warm up our hips.

Commercial has evolved from jazz. The use of plie as seen in the videos below stem from the jazz technique which was first codified in ballet. Commercial doesn't have a codified technique nor a key practitioner.
I believe my commercial has improved a lot and I am now educated enough, by the end of second year, to pay attention to things like dynamics and musicality withing the choreography. Executing the choreography while performing throughout. I can be seen far right in the first video and far left in the second

Dancing in stilettos has developed from the jazz character shoes to embody a more sexualised nature. Dancing in stilettos is a skill that requires balance and co-ordination. In the video below there is also evidence of contraction and plies.

our set assessment rond de jambe barre enc-operates rond de jambe, plie, fodue and devlope. In first year I would really struggles to hold my leg at 90 degrees doing a rond de jambe en l'air, but with correct muscle work and practice i can see and improvement. However, there is still a very long way to go.

Horton followed influence of Martha Graham, who created her own dance technique to defy common ballet form and structure, making it very 'ugly'. This is where the contraction originated. We now use it as a warm up in our assessment contemporary class, engaging our core. There is, however, a classical fifth position whereby Horton did not souly follow Grahams technical structure.

Luigi modified the classical pirouette position, like the rest of his technique, to a turned in position. I personally find it easier to balance on a jazz pirouette and have more control. This could be because of my alignment, when I turn my leg out I tend to arch my back. This is a correction I have been trying to apply to myself, engaging my core.
