This implies how through mature technique training and hot steam room stretching it is possible to have a larger extension. ]]> 2019-05-02 19:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/cavesarah1/72f128p51m8j/wish/356383449 cavesarah1 https://padlet.com/cavesarah1/72f128p51m8j/wish/356392493 This is a ballet développé which enhances the use of extension and alignment of the leg. For me this is still difficult as I often grip within my thigh to try and get my leg above 90 degrees. However this contradicts what I am trying to achieve as a tense thigh acts as a barrier, therefore stops my leg from going further. This suggests I still need to practice without tensing and focus on releasing the thigh causing an embodied dancer.]]> 2019-05-02 20:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cavesarah1/72f128p51m8j/wish/356392493 cavesarah1 https://padlet.com/cavesarah1/72f128p51m8j/wish/356397369 2019-05-02 20:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cavesarah1/72f128p51m8j/wish/356397369 cavesarah1 https://padlet.com/cavesarah1/72f128p51m8j/wish/356397914 This is section A of jazz Chaînê turns from the corner which only has two chaînés. Personally I really struggled with these as I could never have my feet in a tight fifth position while turning which effected my balance causing me to go off to a diagonal line. Moreover, I also struggled majorly with spotting "Dancer's try to hit a perfect balance between using muscle to turn their head around and "help the turn" within gripping or tightening muscles too much". (Ballet hub, 2019) This explains how I end up gripping too much. ]]> 2019-05-02 20:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cavesarah1/72f128p51m8j/wish/356397914 cavesarah1 https://padlet.com/cavesarah1/72f128p51m8j/wish/356400788 -Ballet hub, (2019), https://ballethub.com/ballet-term/spotting/, (accessed 4/3/19)

I hold tension in my shoulders when being nervous which had a huge effect on the way I danced in this solo. This enhanced the bad musicality causing everything to lack in confidence and attack.
