I need to work on them in my own time as well as continuing working on my flexibility to help improve my leg height.

The video below shows a travelling exercise in ballet which includes no inward turns. Despite me getting the double turn in, I am not executing it with the right technique. I need to work on this to allow myself to get the highest marks possible in all the assessment criteria.

I have focused too much on the height of grande allegro instead of focusing on building my technique in small jumps in order to make my big jumps better.

Within this clip I perform to the camera before I start the movement and then it slips into a concentration face. I need to work I’m using my facial expressions to add to the performance.

As you can see in this video I hesitate a few times and almost miss the counts. I need to work on faster pick up and being able to retain and perform that information to allow me to improve and focus on other performance skills.

After focusing on my leg strength and how to get the elevation as well as the correct landing within grande allegro this year has helped me to develop this into a strength.
