I think that if I would have stopped worrying so much about the steps that I would have been able to perform it better. By watching just the beginning I can already tell that I needed to just let go and release more. I think that this was also a new style  for me and came as more of a challenge to me. I think that I did a better job with my upper body and my use of space.]]> 2016-10-25 19:26:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mrv4vasquez/6udo9k9lcqgx/wish/133151749 mrv4vasquez https://padlet.com/mrv4vasquez/6udo9k9lcqgx/wish/133151779 Today we had a really fun combo to the song Never Forget You. I felt as if I performed this combination very well and that I put in my best effort. I believe that from watching this video that I need to improve on really pointing through my feet to complete my lines and using my plie more to get up higher in my jumps. I think that if I can use my pie more throughout the entire combination because it will add more levels and it would enable my movements to be stronger. ]]> 2016-10-25 19:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrv4vasquez/6udo9k9lcqgx/wish/133151779 mrv4vasquez https://padlet.com/mrv4vasquez/6udo9k9lcqgx/wish/133151902 Today we had a guest artist come in and teach us a wonderful class. I think by watching this video you can say I was working hard. I am proud of the work that I put out in her class today. I think that I can improve on things such as releasing my neck more because it will complete my movements and working on picking up details with floor work. I have always struggled with floor work and think that I need to just keep practicing it to improve in it. I think that I did a good job of finding the balance between the fluid moments and the staccato 
movements in her combination. ]]> 2016-10-25 19:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mrv4vasquez/6udo9k9lcqgx/wish/133151902 mrv4vasquez https://padlet.com/mrv4vasquez/6udo9k9lcqgx/wish/133159947 Today I decided to use this picture for my padlet because I wanted to reflect upon how hard we worked as a level to pull together Don't Let Me Down in two days even though we were not videotaped. We all knew we had limited time and seriously put in the effort inside and outside of class. I know that I am not very good at remembering old choreography so this experience taught me to 
be able to pick up choreography fast and to adjust to dancing on a football field with little rehearsal. I think that this was a great challenge for us as a level and that we did our best in making the number look as good as possible for the school. As a senior I am very excited to see what else is going to come our way to challenge us this year. I think that the one thing I need to work on after performing on the field is my turns. I need to really use my releve in class because on the field you have to squeeze everything ten times harder and have an even higher releve to not fall out of the turn.
