1. Develop my floor techniques in class - I need to improve my connection between the floor my body. One way I am trying to do this is imaging the floor is either hot or cold depending on the movement I need. Long movements = cold floor. Short movements = hot floor.

2. Working on the same exercises and staying connected with the floor makes things easier for me to develop my feelings and connections

3. To use my arms and expressions more effectively. My first two goals will help this, however, I also need to allow myself to relax and let my feelings come out when dancing.

1. Develop my techniques to speed up my movements.

   I will do this with practice and learn how to feel the movements through the music. I will also work on slowing down how I learn these steps, so I will learn them slowly and then put the steps to the music timing wise. This will stop me trying to rush my learning process.

2. Don't give up when doing tap. This is developing well now and I am noticing my progress. I just need to keep being confident and not say I cant to myself.

3. Use my facial expressions more in sequences. This is also developing fast I am feeing myself learning to act with my face as I am becoming more confident in tap generally.

4. Make tap steps stronger and louder. I will continue my ankle exercises to help this.

1. Develop my suspension and my foot work as I am currently struggling to keep up with the movements, improving my stamina will help keep that suspension.

2. Keep my back straight and maintain posture with some elegance.

3. Work on my arms in dances as well as keeping them in the correct position.

4. Being confident - "I know the ballet steps".

At the start of the year I wrote the above statement, my opinion has now changed.

I am now much more confident with tap as well as jazz. I would now order my dance elements as follows.

1. Tap

2. Jazz

3. Ballet

I have grown to love tap over my three years at university and I will take these skills with me to progress into the workplace.
