This choreography was taught quickly so I struggled with my pick up, however taking this class made me work hard and prepare me for auditions as I will Be expected to pick up choreography quick. Overall I felt I pushed myself in this class in order to pick up the first half of the choreography as shown in this video.  Taking more classes like this will help me with my retention. ]]> 2017-11-13 16:17:38 UTC https://padlet.com/Itselleh/nfny0minxdyj/wish/206323116 Itselleh https://padlet.com/Itselleh/nfny0minxdyj/wish/206325732 In this class I pushed myself as the choreography was taught at a quick pace and was a faster choreography than last class, however In auditions and in the dance industry I know that I need to pick up choreography fast.

This dance is an up pace choreography which consisted of lots of dynamics and levels, this class also included house elements which I have never done before, so I was able to get a understanding of house movements. To improve on my house I am going to take more house classes because I understand I need to be versatile, as when auditioning for jobs these quality’s will help me stand out. ]]> 2017-11-16 10:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/Itselleh/nfny0minxdyj/wish/207580931 Itselleh https://padlet.com/Itselleh/nfny0minxdyj/wish/207582757 In this class I found that I was able to use a range of dynamics, the choreography was quite slow which meant that I had time to finish off all my movements and alow them to link into each other. I felt this class pushed me with my confidence and performance, especially because I was dancing in heals. Taking this class gave me a good understandment on what it will be like Dancing in heals when auditioning for jobs within the industry such as EMA’s and Xfactor. ]]> 2017-11-16 10:11:52 UTC https://padlet.com/Itselleh/nfny0minxdyj/wish/207582757 Itselleh https://padlet.com/Itselleh/nfny0minxdyj/wish/207587228 I really enjoyed this class, however I felt like I needed to use more dynamics to make my moves look sharper and stronger, watching the video back I needed to make my arms stronger and finish my moves off before moving into the next move. Overall I felt in this class my pick up rate had improved since first joining shockout and I was able to perform the choreography.  To improve on my performance I need to make sure I use my facial expressions, this will help me stand out and make an audience watch me. ]]> 2017-11-16 10:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/Itselleh/nfny0minxdyj/wish/207587228 Itselleh https://padlet.com/Itselleh/nfny0minxdyj/wish/209647319 In this class we worked on out technique and this is the balancing exercise to help strengthen the angle and help us find it central line of  balance, so that when we come to pirouette, we are able to controle our core and get a double pirouette without falling backwards or forwards.
