Unfortunately I did not attend the tap peers assessment this day, due to being at a drama school audition. However, I went through the tap routines in my own time to see where I was at.

In my opinion, I feel like I know what I am doing in all of the jazz numbers, its just often I would find it difficult to recall what movement is next. This means that I am still going to go over these videos in my own time to maintain them in my mind so when it comes to the assessment, I can use my muscle memory to do it perfectly and effectively.

Unfortunately, I did not participate in this class today due to being at a drama school audition.

During this class today, objectives that I focused on was recalling what we have previously learnt before Christmas, maintaining focus towards my choreographers throughout and portraying the dance moves effectively.

In our lesson today, we starting learning the choreography for the number 'Money, Money' and we ran through what we previously set of 'Willkommen' and then also adding onto the choreography.

One challenge and some feedback that I faced today, is something I would like to improve on for the future. And that is being able to portray 'Bob Fosse' feet quick within a dance. Bob Fosse has a specific and unique style of movement which is reflected through most parts of Cabaret, therefore it was set within the number 'Money, Money' today. However, when I went to step into it and then out extremely quick, I seemed to have struggled. This means that I would love to quickly work on this to be able to perfect it for the performance and in future productions. I plan to do this by mainly focusing on going over what we choreographed today for 'Money, Money' as being able to nail that small part of dancing will guide me through future Bob Fosse setting.

Choreography Plan:

The theme/mood that I want for my solo is progression, portraying how within the story she starts off with self doubt and hatred and then grows to believe that she should be loved for who she is, not who others want her to be.

The structure is that I want it introduced in a way to reflect the emotions, so start on the floor to show that sadness and hate. Then the development to be a sort of pulling force to get me off of the floor but at the same time, I still have something pulling me down. The climax is going to be when I finally beat the allegations and eventually stand up and make my ballet technique movements big and proud. Lastly, the conclusion is going to be soft and reflective to close the piece in a nice and calm way to really make the audience think back to how they can relate to my piece.

Some movements that I would like to include are techniques such as; Plies and Releves to express my elevation and grounding at the same time, Extensions and various stances to really specify the form and grace, Jumps like jetes and sautes to add contrast and dynamics, Turns to showcase control, balance and difference within my piece.

My rehearsal plan is practicing often to not lose the techniques and musicality so that the performance quality is spot on, and if it's not I need to review and adjust is needed.

I am going to plan transitions between certain movements within my solo to maintain a smooth flow. Therefore, adding floor work and travelling can connect specific sections and steps so they don't feel odd.

Each time I perform drafts of my solo to my peers and tutor, I plan to write down and take on every bit of feedback so that I can build upon it and construct.

Finally, expression and performance. Expressing emotions through face and body language can be the most crucial element of performances. So I am going to focus on the use of my arms to enhance the story.

Inspirations:

The song that I have chosen for my ballet solo is 'Greatest Showman: This Is Me (Warm-Up)' - Nate Fifield. The reason that I chose this song is because when watching the musical, I feel that I can really connect with this song and the emotions portrayed within in. Therefore, in my opinion I can significantly create an amazing piece to connect with the audience as much as I did.

During todays ballet class, I focused specifically on my alignment, keeping my arm and core engaged and recalling the moves correctly.

Today we ran through techniques included in our upcoming ballet assessment, these were: Plies, Battement Tendu (Weight Change), Battement Frappe, Pirouettes, Adage and Petit Allegro. As well as these, we additionally learnt some brand new exercises that will also be apart of our assessment, these were: Grande Battement, Chaines, Balance and Grande Jete.

A certain challenge and something I would like to improve on was the Balance exercise. This is because it was a lot faster then I realised, therefore when performing it with the music the first time, it really caught me off guard which then made me lose myself for the entire piece.

Some constructive feedback from one of my peers was to relax my shoulders more during routines. To guide me through this, I am going to practice ballet in my own time but doing this looking into the mirror from the side so I can see when I am tensing my shoulders and get used to the feeling of them being relaxed. Therefore, hopefully by our next ballet lesson, i will have the shoulders and arms perfect.

# data[].attributes.body
During our jazz class today, I specifically focusses on getting the height in my leaps, spotting when doing jazz turns and recalling choreography from first year.

What we did in the lesson today was focus on learning a lot of exercises for our jazz assessment coming up in the future, so we can straight away start practising these in our own time. As well as this, we went on to run through the routine from last week, and even though I was absent from this lesson, my hard work learning this routine in my own time really paid off.

One area of improvement from today is being able to remember the techniques that we learnt within our first year at college. I spotted this when our tutor wanted us to go through a dance we did at the end of last year but it was like I had forgotten everything which significantly upset me.

Looking at turns, my peers advised me to work on my balance, as when turning, I sometimes lose my balance which then messes up the rest of the combination. This means, i am definitely going to prioritise my turning and not stop rehearsing it until I maintain my balance and posture which will optimistically be for our next jazz class.

# data[].attributes.body
Objectives that I worked on today were to maintain a positive and stress free attitude and to apply research that I have done so far for my 52 Years Of Cabaret essay.

An overall of what we did in our rehearsal today was we completed a physical warm up, led by one of our choreographers, Mia. We then went on to run through Don't Tell Mama, which we then started setting and staging, also changing a few bits of choreography. After, we ran through what we had so far done of Money, Money and carried on learning the choreography taught by two of our choreographers Katie and Ella.

An area of improvement that I encountered today (from myself and my peers) was that towards the end of our rehearsal, I started to get tired which guided me to quickly lose my motivation. This is not good enough as this will overall effect my pick up abilities and the level that I am dancing, also, in the performing arts industry, my future will be full of more stressful and exhausting experiences against what I did today. Therefore, looking forward to our next rehearsal, my goal is to stay connected and attentive for the entirety of the lesson to maintain great practice.

Today a person goal for me was to maintain a positive attitude throughout the entire rehearsal.

What we did today was run vocals for Willkommen and Money. We then started the vocals for Cabaret and Don’t Tell Mama. Later, we choreographed more of our first long number, Willkommen and after this we moved onto a director session where we all sat down with our chosen directors and discussed our individual scenes.

The only challenge I faced personally myself today, and it was additionally constructive feedback given, was during our sing through of my song Cabaret, during the line - ‘When I saw her laid out like a Queen’ - I needed to be in my head voice and make it more gentle as I went into it as if it was a belt. Therefore, before our next vocal run next week, I plan to continuously practice this song in my own time, as I want to be able to perfect it and polish it off as soon as possible which will then prove to my peers and my tutor that I can be trusted with the feedback that they are giving me.

I decided that my objectives today are going to be what I have most struggled with in the past, such as articulation with the feet, purposeful arms and more face.

In todays tap class, we went over in small groups what we have learnt so far for our assessment a few times each to apply improvements from our peer assessment and proof that we are working on it at home.

Some feedback from my peers and also an area of improvement is again articulation when tapping each area of my foot as they are struggling to hear the difference from my heel and my toes which is crucial if I want to go further in my tap dancing career.

I am going to take on this feedback and try my best to nail it by next lesson, I am planning to do this by consistently going over the routines at home and just focus on the noise I am making with my feet until it is perfect and I need no improvement.

# data[].attributes.body
Aims that I majorly focussed on in this lesson today was recall of what we did last week and to point my toes more.

What we did today was we went over all of the routines and techniques we have learnt for our assessment so far an d after this we learnt a new routine that was focusing on turns and specifically the control of them.

A particular challenge that I came across today spotted by me and also my tutor, was during the new routine, and that was that I found the difference between learning it slow compared to how fast it was when the music started really difficult.

I am confident in myself that I will be able to easily improve this by the nest session, by just frequently going over it at home with the music, therefore I will be able to keep up with the counts and additionally apply the correct techniques.

# data[].attributes.body
During todays dance rehearsal, my main objective was to prove and express how much I have been practising at home to the choreographers.

Today we focussed on continuing Willkommen choreography (choreographed by Mia) and cleaning Don't Tell Mama (choreographed by Phoebe and Scarlett). We also participated in a warm up led by two of our choreographers - Ella and Katie. This included various stretching exercises and cardio to warm us all up correctly for the physical aspects of the two dances we ran today.

The only obstacle that I came across for myself, was a new part of Willkommen that was taught today. I found this specific section fairly fast and difficult to pick up, along with the entire class, therefore it was some feedback from our choreographer Mia that we all go home and practice that count of eight in our own time to insure we don't waste precious rehearsal time.

This implies to me significantly because I am a perfectionist. So in my own time, before our next Willkommen run through, I am going to ensure that I make this section flawless with no mistakes.

The main thing that I focused on in todays class what perfecting each and every routine. This is because our assessment is in two weeks and today was our last class before it, therefore every single step and technique that I did today needed to be amazing with no improvements.

Due too our assessment coming up very quickly, we went over every routine that we have learnt (including our ballet solos) ready for the upcoming two weeks.

Feedback received from my tutor and my peers, was my challenge with forgetting to spot on my turns. However, towards the end of the class, because I reflected on this improvement, I found myself being able to turn more with ease due to the constructive feedback to think about when it comes to doing a turn.

Finally, for the assessment I plan to portray more emotion and focus on my face during the dances as at the moment I find myself looking fairly confused and scared which cannot happen in two weeks time. Also, remembering to spot and keep my eyes up so the audience does not lose focus and attention in what I am doing.

# data[].attributes.body
Although this is my objective every week for jazz, my main focus again for today's class was to recall all of the choreography correctly for the many jazz routines and techniques we need to remember.

What we did today was go over each jazz number we have so far learnt and get assessed by one of our peers. The peer that assessed me was Rachel, see feedback below. As well as this, we were taught a new routine - Tendu's.

An area of improvement for myself from my teacher and I would be to not give up completely when I do something small wrong. For example, during the Tendu exercise, the Glise's and the arms at the same time really got me confused and I struggled to pick it up. However, just because this miniature part of the routine was an obstacle, does not mean I should have gave up the way that I did as I felt defeated, but I could have so easily picked it back up again quickly afterwards.

This feedback guides me to have the goal to work on having more confidence in myself and not beat myself up and get embarrassed when something goes wrong, no matter how big or small it is.
