Allowing my body to find its centre, supporting leg pulled up as much as possible, other leg at its highest point of retire' and my upper having being supported by my core and back. As you can see here my arms are in first position that is being supported by my latts which is such an important technique as pirouettes will not be possible if all these small but significant factors are trained. I learned this technique in classical ballet as well as in Jazz however its just the position of the feet that change, in ballet the position of the feet would be turned out in preparation but in this video i am showing parallel which is the position in Jazz.]]> 2018-04-16 20:07:25 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/252332247 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/252335589 This video shows an example of another form of piroettes, this style is usually within the jazz genre. This piroettes is low level. I personally find these more difficult as the feeling of pulling up isn't a great, you have to have real core strength. I tend to practice these more as they are a weakness of mine. ]]> 2018-04-16 20:18:43 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/252335589 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/252336395 This is an advanced example of my previous video, in this video i show one of my pirouette exercises from my Luigi technique classes. I first off by showing the preparation for a pirouette which i demonstrated correctly which then led me onto perform a single which landed correctly as i done everything i needed to do from the first preparation technique. I then landed a double pirouette, i personally find it very important to always go back to basics because some days i feel as though i am not centred so i will have to go back and drill preparations and singles before i attempt doubles and triples. ]]> 2018-04-16 20:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/252336395 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/252341290 This Horton exercise is primarily plies, however this does include flat backs as well and practising control of the leg in second at 90 degrees. I particularly enjoy this exercise, this really warms my body up and gives me the chance to gain control and engage my core, it also is very nice to do and we are told this exercise shouldn't be to staccato but soft and light.]]> 2018-04-16 20:38:20 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/252341290 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/252341661 This video is to show my technique ability after a full out jazz class, showing what i have practised in class to now performing it within a piece. i find it very different to doing jazz technique exercises to then combining it all into a piece of choreography. i am very particular and strict when it comes to my technique, i have had trouble in the past, being told i am too robotic and not having enough stylist qualities so that has been a main focus of mine and i feel as though this is a prime example of me showing how i am as a performer as well as showing good technique. ]]> 2018-04-16 20:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/252341661 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/252343745 This video is to show some of my progress within my contemporary class, This is some improvisation with another student, this particular exercise has made my confidence and improvisation improve. Contemporary was always a strength of mine but improvising with a partner was something i intended to work on and this was a perfect opportunity, the way in which we communicated without speech but just focusing on one another an staying in sync was a challenge but one i enjoyed. ]]> 2018-04-16 20:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/252343745 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/253796024 This echelles stretch is the first exercise at the barre', although it may seem slow and very little movement, this exercise is very important. We do this articulation of the feet and side stretch to warm our bodies up slowly with control, the stretching of the feet is so important as in ballet feet are crucial and its so important to take care of them. This exercise also allow our bodies to get in the right positions, pulled up, core engaged, thighs turned out using our adductors and back open and pulled down while keeping our focus centred and eye line up. The performance also comes into this exercise, to look and be present.]]> 2018-04-20 12:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/253796024 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/259564710 I am showing a leap sequence in slow motion, i have found that if i film myself in slow motion i an see clearly my strengths and weaknesses. i know i have good elevation due to my tumbling history]]> 2018-05-10 10:47:41 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/259564710 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/259565979 In this you see one of our tondu exercises, this video includes some of the students performing this exercise. I notice within this video there are mistakes but within the correct movement you can see there is still corrections to be made. The articulation of the feet aren't to the full ability, i can see they need to use the floor more as well as pay more attention to the arms. ]]> 2018-05-10 10:57:11 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/259565979 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260218948 2018-05-13 12:25:51 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260218948 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260218982 2018-05-13 12:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260218982 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260219093 Example of a Horton exercise, i personally find this position difficult but once practiced the strength within my core increased ]]> 2018-05-13 12:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260219093 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260219293 Balancing in Horton technique, using opposites limbs to help the balance, holding odd positions but stylistic]]> 2018-05-13 12:30:09 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260219293 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260249682 2018-05-13 17:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260249682 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260249710 2018-05-13 17:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260249710 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260249739 2018-05-13 17:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260249739 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260249766 2018-05-13 17:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260249766 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260250406 2018-05-13 17:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260250406 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260250440 2018-05-13 17:33:05 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260250440 x_wee_jordyn_x https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260281058 2018-05-13 22:37:02 UTC https://padlet.com/x_wee_jordyn_x/plq8yhnvfkx6/wish/260281058
