Here i am demonstrating the lateral T position we use often often in contemporary class. My core has to be engaged and strong in order for me to reach and hold the position without falling off or wobbling. Watching this video i will now aim to gain more strength within my legs so that can raise them that extra bit higher.

As demonstrated on the image, these are the five standard positions of the arms in jazz. Here we can clearly see the strong lines that are being created, unlike the curved line as seen in classic ballet.

Here we see me performing the big jump sequence from my jazz class with Mr Needham. The purpose of this sequence is to show off the elevation skill when performing the technical moves. I believe this is a strong point of mine which i enjoy performing.

Here i am seen doing a pirouette sequence which is found in my ballet class. I really focused on the dynamic of the pirouette which is to snap in and rotate quickly. With saying this it was still important for me to still control the pirouette so I could keep my alignment of body.

When training in first year we mainly focused on normal jete’s, swish leaps and side leaps. This is a leap in second that i executed in first year.

Being in second year i wanted to build on the difficulty of my leaps and i felt comfortable to do so. I am happy with the elevation that i got on this leap, and the flexibility i managed to show. This video gives you an insight of the improvements within my leaps over the past year.

This is my main weakness within ballet training. As seen on the video the beat of the feet are not clean and sharp enough as i struggle to execute the movements. Also i can see that my arms are not strong enough as they react to when the lower part of my body is moving instead of holding a firm first position. Watching the video has been helpful and i now have a clearer understanding of what I have to practice in order to make this exercise stronger.

Here i am doing the kick exercise set within my jazz class. Although i believe my extension has improved since first year, it is still a weakness that i need build stronger. My grand battemond to the front is my weakness out all of kicks, this means i have to focus on stretching my hamstrings out so that they become looser. Doing this will leave me feeling less restricted when kicking my leg allows it to go higher.

When first performing table holds in contemporary class,  i was comprising my hip alignment in order for my leg to look higher as i was slightly confused on where my positioning should be exactly  and what it should feel like. As you can see my knee is the highest point of my lef which is incorrect for this technical move.

As you can see the different is also clear compared to the perilous picture of me attempting a table hold. With help from my contemporary instructor Nahum, he corrected my position informing me that my knee has to be pulled back in order to create the right angle. This also meant that i was not lifting the hip and relaying solely on the strength within my legs.

Here I am demonstrating a section the grande elegro sequence within my ballet class. Watching this video I am happy with the improvement of my strength and flexibility within these moves. Although there is a lot of room for improvement, this footage reminds me to keep pushing because I will see the reward in the end

Here is a video of me performing the travelling sequence in my contemporary class. Watching the video back I can see positives and negatives.

Positives: I have a good use of my plie and strong lateral T’s

Negatives: Turn in attitude needs improving as my placement of the leg was wrong and I know I have the ability to improve my extensions as some of them were not high enough.
