One thing in commercial which I think I have improved on is how I use my body within the different movements in choreographies. Source 30 shows a clip of a routine at the start of first year and I barely move my torso in each of the different movements. However, source 31 shows a routine from the middle of second year and it is clear that I am moving each part of my body throughout the whole choreography. I believe the reason for this improvement is pushing myself within training during university and my attendance to open classes in the evening, therefore I will carry on pursuing this in order to further improve.

Source 26 shows a chaîné exercise in the Luigi jazz class which was performed in the formative assessment and source 27 demonstrates the chaîné exercise which will be performed in the summative assessment. In the older exercise, only 2 chaines were executed, whereas in the new exercise, you can see that the difficulty has been stepped up as I am now executing 3 chaines in a more complex arrangement. Furthermore, at the end of the exercise instead of a double pirouette I now have to accomplish a double pirouette into a fouetté, developing my technical ability.

One of my weaknesses this year in the jazz class has been control in my pirouettes. In this clip, I am performing a Luigi jazz pirouette which is included in the turn exercise in source 27. This double pirouette features a fouetté at the end which has been added into the summative assessment work in order to increase control and stability within a turn. Here, I am practicing my double pirouette and attempting to land in a still fondu with my working leg extended so that I have a solid preparation for a strong fouetté.

In the first image, I am performing a flat back from a Luigi jazz class in a way which is not executed successfully. My arms are not line with my shoulder blades, which indicates that my lateral muscles are not engaged. Therefore in order to help correct my alignment in the Luigi flat back shape, I needed to increase my control of the lateral muscle group so that my arms can be held from my back and have the strength to stay in the accurate placement.

This still image identifies one of the key elements in the contemporary Horton technique: the lateral tee. In order to execute this movement successfully, a dancer should try and turn out their standing leg as close to 180 degrees as possible in order to obtain a sufficient balance and to allow room for the working leg to lift up. However as you can see in source 28, I am not fully rotating my standing leg, which made it difficult for me to hold the shape. Therefore, in order to help improve my alignment and balance skills, I have been working on trying to turn my underneath foot out as much as possible, including working the rotation from my hips when working on exercises such as that in source 19. As you can see in source 29, my foot is turned out to its maximum which allows me to execute a good balance more frequently.

In this clip, I am demonstrating a batterie exercise which is part of my summative assessment. Within this exercise, I am working on improving my beaten steps and trying to execute each jump whilst thinking of my thighs crossing over rather than my feet as "batterie involves the beating or crossing of one leg against the other in equal measure."

One section of the ballet class which I have been working on is jumps as this was one of the categories in my formative assessment which pulled my mark down. As you can see in this clip of a ballet warm up jump in the centre, I am focussing on using the floor to push off from and stretching my feet in order to try and increase my level of elevation. Therefore, using these techniques, I will hopefully be able to improve my elevation skills and obtain a better all round grade and my summative assessment at the end of the year.
