Today we did a recap on some of our ballet assessment today which has shown me what I need to work on for each section, Jasmine also came round and corrected me on some of my movements as when I stretched I wasn't going over my heals which she said was a mobile issue. so for next ballet lesson I will e sure to work on that. I also got some help from Catherine which was lovely since I didn't understand a sequence we was doing but we worked it out and she explained it very well. We then learned some new things in jazz for our assignment which i believe i did very well on, i would just like to work on my contractions during that number. my strengths for this would be my memory for most of the things we did but I do still need to work on believing in what I am doing and not looking over. my weakness would be my sprained ankle that I still cant point. for next lesson I would like to have memorized all the bar work that they have done so far.

Ballet choreography plan

I’m thinking of starting with the technique that I understand, I want to be able to do basic ballet moves well. I want to show off my arms and make them pretty so I’m starting in Firth position and doing Adage with my arms, then to an arabesque and wanting to show of my leg flexibility some how.

I was unable to come in this week due to a migraine however I made sure that I watched all the videos that were taken and uploaded to the youtube playlist, I also got people that were in the class to tell me what happened and explained to me what I needed to do for next week.

Unfortunately I was unable to attend this weeks dance classes as I had a migraine in the morning, to make sure I don’t fall behind I am watching videos and practicing when I can.

This Monday we did Ballet and Jazz, during ballet we went over all the material we have learnt so far. During this I found out that I need to work on the pirouette section in the centre and the Petit allegro I need to work on looking elegant and dainty nice I’m coming down quite aggressively. But I felt like I really kept up with the class and my practice at home combined with me watching the videos really helped me memorise the moves. We then had jazz were we added onto more things for our assessment and went over some other things, I realised during this session that I need to spend more time on jazz.

My strengths this lesson would be my confidence in ballet, I really felt like I knew exactly what I was doing. My strength in jazz would be my ability to carry on once getting lost in choreography, when I’m struggling to do 2 things at once with my arms and legs I chose to do 1 to then add the other later. My weakness would be my centre work in ballet, I’m just not as confident in it than my bar combinations. My weakness in jazz would be not memorising the material as much as I wanted.

For next lesson I will be preparing for my tap assessment and really trying to go over things in my own time without tap shoes as it makes it harder for me to learn the moves with them on, and also go over the jazz assessment things as much as I can.

I was unable to attended the Monday assessment because of my chronic migraine, however i was lucky enough to get to do it in my lunch the next day, i was with 2 other people so it wasn't awful for my head as it wasn't that many taps going on at one time. We did all the travelling as well as the centre sequences after we went through them we went on to the route where we did them together then one by one.

In this i would say my strengths are being in the room and staying for the whole time, i wasn't sure if i was going to be able to make it but i was pleased with myself. i would also sat my confidence was good as i wasn't taught the steps in class as i couldn't go in, i believe i did the best i could. My weakness would be knowing where my weight is meant to be in each step I'm not a very light person on my feet either and wasn't amazing at making it feel light and airy.

This was my last time doing tap, i enjoyed the time i had with it but I'm happy to say its over.

I missed my bus in the morning so unfortunately i was late in meaning i wasn't able to join in with my ballet assessment.

However i was able to do my Jazz assessment, this went very well. We did traveling and centre as well as going onto the 2 solos. for my improve 2 counts of 8, i decided to do the hairspray dance as i believe i am a stronger musical theatre jazz dancer then any other.

My weaknesses would be my nerves kicking in and my ability to pick up after losing where i am with choreography. no matter how long i spent learning an going over those retinues doing it that one time in the room i forgot most of it, i was sad and disappointed but i know in my heart i tried my best. My strengths were carrying on, not crying and using my face to tell a story.

Jazz was the dance i knew before college that i knew i enjoyed, however i learnt I'm more of a musical theatre jazz rather then a technique jazz type of girl.
