Also keeping your back straight so your not bending forwards to get your leg higher. ]]> 2017-05-08 19:58:11 UTC https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170615481 laurabrentano https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170624507 As a dancer it is very important to have flexibility as a key skill as you then have a wider range of movement to use within every style of dance you do.]]> 2017-05-08 20:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170624507 laurabrentano https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170624644 I become a little more flexible in each class i take as when i stretch in classes i like to push myself past my limits so i am over stretching and getting that little bit further everytime i do stretch. ]]> 2017-05-08 20:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170624644 laurabrentano https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170633345 I believe that some of my key strengths in Jazz are split leaps, box jumps and scissors leaps. I feel this because when i do a split leap or any other jump or leap i can get a lot of height to get in the air, also both of my legs are really straight. I think what really helps me with my split leaps are when i stretch in the splits and hold if for a very long time and also when i sit in box and lean for to get my stomach flat on the floor. In a scissor leap you've got to have enough power and height to be able to leap and change your your legs in the air keeping them both straight. I could work on my landings out of my leaps for a area of improvement.]]> 2017-05-08 22:07:52 UTC https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170633345 laurabrentano https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170636169 When trying to do a leg catch you have to be flexible and have enough strength to be able to kick your leg up high and catch it at your ankle and hold it there for a few seconds. I feel that i am really good at this particular area in Jazz as i am really flexible with my legs and i have great amount of strength in my legs for me to kick them up and be able to hold them up in the air for as long as possible.. Squat exercises help me to become more stronger in my legs.]]> 2017-05-08 22:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170636169 laurabrentano https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170637741  ~ Pirouettes

There an area within Jazz which i just cant master yet.. In this video it show that i need to really work on spotting where i'm heading towards and also it shows i am lifting my shoulders up when i am turning, this is something i shouldn't be doing when doing Chaines.]]> 2017-05-08 23:04:38 UTC https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170638454 laurabrentano https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170639059 2017-05-08 23:14:32 UTC https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170639059 laurabrentano https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170639130 I feel that one of my biggest weaknesses in Jazz are pirouettes. I feel that i can never land them perfect i always end up stumbling out of them, to avoid doing this in the future i need to pull up on my leg more when i'm doing my pirouette and drop my foot more quickly to be able to stop in the right place. I need to work on spotting with my head to enable to pirouette more than twice.. These are something i really need to work on.]]> 2017-05-08 23:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170639130 laurabrentano https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170646090 ''The pirouette, a spin around on one leg, is one of the most difficult of all dance steps. To do a pirouette, you must make a complete turn around yourself, while balancing on one leg. A pirouette may be performed en dehors (turning away from the supporting leg) or en dedans (turning toward the supporting leg). Pirouettes usually begin in fourth, fifth or secondposition. This is a pirouette from fourth position.''  (ThoughtCo.

This means that if you are taking several steps into your split leap, the last step should be low and long, like a leap. The low and long step you take before the leap is a punching step. This step helps you punch off the ground so you can leap higher." (Gymnastics, Np, 2017.)

Over the last semester I feel that I have become a lot better at picking up choreography and movements more quickly than what I used to be able to. I feel that my retention skills have come along well and I am more focused throughout classes and workshops. This area could still use with a little more working on as I will then be able pick up choreography even faster during a class.  I am also a lot happier with ballet as I feel that its not a new style of dance to me anymore.. And I am feeling a lot more confident within myself when taking part in a Ballet class.

Contemporary is a area of dance which I feel I am very confident in, I believe that it is one of my biggest strengths. The way I move in contemporary is a lot different in the way I move my body in Ballet and Jazz. Throughout a contemporary workshop or class the movements what are used are usually more fluid movements and also movements that are grounded and low, most of the time a lot of the choreography is on the floor or using the floor. In a contemporary class I feel more free and I feel I am able to just be me..I think this because contemporary is more of a free working movement style of dance which I consider this been one of my key strengths. ]]> 2017-05-09 16:57:34 UTC https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170824431 laurabrentano https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170845063 2017-05-09 18:02:49 UTC https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170845063 laurabrentano https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170850893
"Contemporary dance is a style of expressive dance that combines elements of several dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet. Contemporary dancers strive to connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements.

Contemporary dance stresses versatility and improvisation, unlike the strict, structured nature of ballet. Contemporary dancers focus on floorwork, using gravity to pull them down to the floor." (ThoughtCo. Np, 2017.)

I feel that in his classes I can pick up the choreography but not execute all of the movements to the best of my ability. I feel that I am too focused on picking up the movements in the way he creates them as I am not used to his style of commercial. In Jazz I would just like to become better at the style of dance so going to extra classes would really benefit me in this area of dance. I would also like to become even more flexible to what I am now, I will be starting to stretch myself more and more and i will be pushing my self more in classes to achieve this. I would really benefit in this area if we had a stretch class within our timetable of studies. I feel it really makes a difference if someone else is stretching you and pushing you, to you trying to push yourself past your limits. I would then be able to see a different in how flexible I am To how flexible I would become. I will also be finding classes to take to focus on this area of improvements. ]]> 2017-05-09 18:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170856424 laurabrentano https://padlet.com/laurabrentano/1pujrckk0ln9/wish/170871976 "How To Do A Split Leap: Drills & Exercises To Help You Improve".
