I had a hard time finding videos similar to the contemporary classes we do with Jasmine. As most of the choreography I found online was full of tricks and pirouettes to impress the audience. So I decided to include a clip of one a Jasmine's classes to best showcase her own style of contemporary dance. I believe her style to be very modern and free flowing.

Tours are something I struggle with in both ballet and jazz. I tend to pre empt the turn before I leave the ground which doesn't do me any favours and is a hinderance when performing them. This video shows a double tour executed with correct technique.

Cooling down is something I don't do very often or even give a second thought which isn't just stupid but is also dangerous and could cause injury. By performing cool downs after class I can ensure that I wont be putting myself at risk of injury and also improving upon my flexibility at the same time. This video is just of a simple cool down one could easily perform after class.

In ballet this is something I struggle with the most and although boys usually dance to a slower tempo in ballet. When the speed of the dance is fast and the choreography is quite complex I often find myself jumping all over the place. I need to learn to control my body and be able to perform fast, complex movement.
