within Tap during semester A for the rest of Sem A, we looked at the 'TapTok' routine, in which we did a piece of choreo to a christmas song for a tiktok. we developed our skills within this and learnt some new skills such as maxi fords

personally i feel like i developed on my broadways and time steps as i practiced these a lot

i focussed on strengthening my ankles and working on bending my knees as this is important in tap and especially with my ankle health and working on getting this better

although i missed a few classes, i worked from home on the steps and rotations in techniques and also trying to speed up however not turning up led me to not knowing a few moves and having to catch up

i also developed in my riffs can now riff up to a 9 beat riff

# data[].attributes.body
throughout the rest of jazz we concentrating on remembering the floor routine and remembering the routine in itself by ourself

in the goal setting meeting with Lisa, we discussed my goals for the year. At first Lisa said i was general with my answer this being that i wanted to focus on getting better and remembering the things we did last year. so we delved into this and looked at the specifics, so for example i need to focus on my time steps in tap and look at my improvement with this. for jazz, i need to look at the floor technique and the 'robot' move that we do and in ballet i should focus on the coordination with my arms and getting my feet and arms in line with eachother.
