Strengths: I believe that during this rehearsal, I had good energy throughout and I showcased strength and power with each movement that was performed.

Weaknesses: Though I was able to show strength and power, at times it could have been too much as I could see that I wasn't finishing every movement.

Targets: Work on being able to finish every movement to there full potential.

# data[].attributes.body
Strengths: During this rehearsal, I believe that I was able to showcase again a good amount of strength throughout and show stylistic qualities of the commercial style.

Weaknesses: This particular rehearsal, I definitely need to work on remembering the new section of choreography that we had learnt that day and again finishing every movement.

Targets: Go away and work on the new section of choreography and intern that will help with finishing every movement.

# data[].attributes.body
Strengths: Within this rehearsal, I think that it's clear that I have gone away and rehearsed the piece, because I am showing improvement with finishing each movement, and now I am more confident with that section, I am able to show it on my face more.

Weaknesses: During the new section of the piece that we have learnt, the waacking section because we have just learnt it, I could see that I wasn't extending and using my arms fully.

Targets: I need to work on being more confident with the new waacking section of the piece and that will come with time.

# data[].attributes.body
Strengths: The first section of the piece, I feel I have gotten pretty solid and used a good use of movement memory.

Weaknesses: During the waacking section the movement was very flat when performing and I believe that it was because the movement was still very new.

Targets: I need to work on getting the movement into my brain more, so that will mean rehearsing that section in and out of lessons.

Strengths: Personally I believe that my strengths, during this particular commercial assessment were, being able to show a good sense of power throughout, and i had a good understanding of the stylistic qualities needed for old school hip hop.

Weaknesses: When performing my faces seem to drop in and out and also I wasn't using the start of the song to it's full potential when performing.

Targets: Look at feeling the music a bit more in future performances and also don't be scared to use my face.

Feedback: Personally, I was given overall feedback from my tutor on my performance, and every point that I was given, I agree with.

Certain points that were raised are going to help take my technique to the next level both positive and constructive criticism. Things such as, I had a lot of power throughout and that my grooves were authentic, but also having the constructive feedback on how I can further enhance that to make this even better, for example being able to use the music to my advantage more before I actively start to dance and also have a play with different dynamics such as the tempo and accents, all of these points I will now be able to use for future performances and assessments.

# data[].attributes.body
Strengths: Even though I could not fully perform the routine to its full potential, I was still able to show the stylistic qualities needed for the house style, I worked hard with being able to hit every beat and accent within the music

Weaknesses: In terms of this practical assessment, I wasn't able to perform the movement to my full potential because of a back injury. And I had a very focused face throughout and it never really changed.

Targets: The things that I will work on to improve in the future, is using my face more and making each movement just that bit bigger which will overall enhance my performance.

Feedback: Again during this assessment, I was given overall feedback from my tutor, The constructive feedback will be very useful in terms of performances and assessments in the future, I got a lot of positive feedback for how I performed the house style even though I had the issue of a back injury and adapting certain movements of the routine because of the injury did make it easier for me.

Certain points were also made about how I can further enhance the piece, but most of these were because of the injury, things like giving the performance more face, but I feel that this was because I was in slight pain and was very focused on the routine.

# data[].attributes.body
Strengths: During this rehearsal, I feel that my movement memory as improved over the weeks of learning the routine, and I perform with more energy than I have done in the last few weeks.

Weaknesses: I believe that my weaknesses are, not showing enough face throughout the dance and even though I performed with more energy it did seem to dip in and out during the dance.

Targets: Show more style and face throughout the piece.

# data[].attributes.body
During the first part of the process, leading up to dance works, due to other circumstances, Personally I wasn't really given any on going feedback during rehearsals by my tutor in terms of If there was any technique that I needed to work on.

Tutor feedback:

When it got to the to the final rehearsals for dance works, when our previous tutor had left, our new tutor did give us feedback the second rehearsal of her watching the piece.

The specific feedback that was given to me by my tutor, was that I was able to convey confidence and use a lot off sass throughout the performance and that I had a consistent use of energy throughout, but on the other hand, even though my energy was high, I needed to be careful that I didn't overuse that energy and lose control of certain movements.

This feedback was very useful to me in the final weeks leading up to the show as it allowed me to fully take in and understand how I need to improve and enhance certain bits of my technique before the performance and I now understand if I work on all of these elements, it will allow me to have a more precise and intricate performance.

Peer feedback:

During rehearsals, we did also receive peer feedback that was beneficial in the lead up to dance works, the feedback that I received was very similar to the tutor feedback, in the way that I needed to work on the control of certain movements as they did seem too erratic at times and also I needed to work using the music to it's full potential, what I mean by this is allowing my body to hit each accent of the song and allowing each movement flow into one.

Each of this points given by my peers will again allow me to understand what I need to do to enhance my overall performance at dance works which will then take my dancing to the next level.

# data[].attributes.body
Strengths:

I believe that during the final commercial dance performance, I was able to demonstrate a good use of strong dynamics throughout and I feel that I presented a good use of contrast between the sharp and powerful movements to the more controlled and laboured movements. I also feel that I was able to keep up with the intensity and style of the music, which allowed my overall energy to be consistent throughout.

Weaknesses:

During the performance as a whole, when watching and actually performing, I know that I could have used a lot more faces to enhance the quality of my performance, I feel this is because the transitions into each style of dance were very fast paced and found myself trying to remember the choreography more than actually performing the piece. I also believe that I wasn't provided with specific personal feedback during rehearsals based on my technique in terms of if I was performing a specific move incorrectly or needed to make technical adjustments so I found my self continuously rushing the last section because I was thinking too much.

Targets: The things that I want to improve on for the future is, becoming more confident and comfortable with new styles of commercial dance, which will therefor improve my facial expressions on stage and allow me to perform with more overall confidence on stage.

# data[].attributes.body
Strengths:

I believe that my strengths during this piece were, strong dynamics, making sure that the movements that were sharp, were sharp, and the movements that were more quicker than others remained at the same pace as the other dancers.

Weaknesses:

This particular style of jazz dance, definitely wasn't a strong point of mine for may reasons, in terms of the technical aspects of the piece it was very difficult for me to grasp Katherine Dunham's technique, and learning from a video and peers made it more difficult to perform the detailed quality of movements correctly as there wasn't a lot of tutor feedback individual or group so when it came to the final performance personally I was going in blind.

Another weakness of mine, has to be when I repeated movements more times than I should have, which was fine because I didn't stop but it did throw another dance off which meant the timing was a tad off.

Targets: Targets for future reference, would be research more into the stylistic qualities of the practitioner so that I'm more aware of what is being asked of me.

# data[].attributes.body
Strengths:

I feel that my strengths for my solo jazz piece was, being able to portray my chosen practitioners stylistic qualities, for my piece I was inspired by one of Mia Michael's performances called Spring one, and you can see that I had taken some of her movements and put them into my piece.

I also feel that I was able to keep up with the changes in tempo of music and the showed a good contrast between what movements should be sharp and fast with the music and showed good control with the slower movements.

Weaknesses:

I think that my weakness during this solo were, not finishing off certain movements, watching my solo back, I could see that during the more faster tempos of the music, where the movement was a lot quicker, some movements were half finished.

Targets: My targets for the future, are to perform with confidence, but not rush movements when the tempo of the music gets quicker because I think that I am not keeping up with music.
