This diagram indicates correct posture and how all of the body should be aligned. Out of the pictures I would say my posture at the moment is most similar to B. Upon reviewing this I will now be conscious of my posture at all times.]]> 2017-05-31 18:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/appletondaniel97/CoreTechniques/wish/174687847 appletondaniel97 https://padlet.com/appletondaniel97/CoreTechniques/wish/174688302 This diagram shows how the body should be controlled when performing a pirouette.

Luigi Technique is very similar to the style taught by Mr. Needham. The movement is much more purist. Luigi was in a near fatal car accident and he could not dance. So he composed his of dance style in which he could rehabilitate himself.]]> 2017-05-31 18:56:00 UTC https://padlet.com/appletondaniel97/CoreTechniques/wish/174688693 appletondaniel97 https://padlet.com/appletondaniel97/CoreTechniques/wish/174689266 This picture although extreme shows how correct posture and alignment should be executed. Only the very top of the back should move and the rest of the body should be in one line.]]> 2017-05-31 18:59:03 UTC https://padlet.com/appletondaniel97/CoreTechniques/wish/174689266 appletondaniel97 https://padlet.com/appletondaniel97/CoreTechniques/wish/174689969 When stretching in second I have a really hard time tilting my pelvis to ensure my back is flat and in align.

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.]]> 2017-05-31 19:08:22 UTC https://padlet.com/appletondaniel97/CoreTechniques/wish/174690787 appletondaniel97 https://padlet.com/appletondaniel97/CoreTechniques/wish/174691194 Another thing I struggle with in ballet is keeping correct alignment when performing arabesques, this video highlights the main techniques and positions the body should hit when performing them.]]> 2017-05-31 19:10:45 UTC https://padlet.com/appletondaniel97/CoreTechniques/wish/174691194 appletondaniel97 https://padlet.com/appletondaniel97/CoreTechniques/wish/174691449 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.]]> 2017-05-31 19:12:14 UTC https://padlet.com/appletondaniel97/CoreTechniques/wish/174691449 appletondaniel97 https://padlet.com/appletondaniel97/CoreTechniques/wish/174691886 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.]]> 2017-05-31 19:15:10 UTC https://padlet.com/appletondaniel97/CoreTechniques/wish/174691886 appletondaniel97 https://padlet.com/appletondaniel97/CoreTechniques/wish/174692156 This video shows a dance performed by Grahams company and show cases some of her technique style.

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.]]> 2017-05-31 19:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/appletondaniel97/CoreTechniques/wish/174692813
