I have chosen alignment as I struggle holding my arms in a right angle. Research and videos of Matt Mattox’s technique helped me identify my mistakes, reflect on correct technique and have learned to hold my arms through strength. 

Area of improvement 2 - Flexibility 
I have chosen flexibility as I don’t have flexible hips. Watching various YouTube videos I have increased knowledge on beneficial stretches. Successfully applying them to my daily routine, I have learnt that research and knowledge is important to my training and improvement. 

Area of improvement 3 - Turns
I have chosen turns as I can’t find placement before turning, I found that turning with a yoga block helps to gain understanding of body positioning where I have found the skill of using different resources to my advantage.

I have chosen posture as my body placement is incorrect, videoing myself in class I correct myself based on Cicchetti ensuring I concentrate on posture before focusing on arm carriage. Learning from this, I will check my posture if any movement is difficult. 

Area of improvement 2 - Co-ordination
I have chosen coordination as I feel that my movements aren’t connected, from research Cicchetti teaches that your body moves as one. I have applied this to the ron de jambe exercise and with practice and repetition, there will be improvement. 

Area of improvement 3 - Tendues
I have chosen tendues as my foot is not flexible therefore I am focusing on foot flexibility and turn out. Cicchetti ballet teaches basic positions is foundation knowledge. From this, I’m working my legs and feet and can confidently critique myself from videos for development.

I have chosen contractions because I feel that I’m moving the wrong part of my body, from videoing myself in class I have learnt that I need to focus on basic foundations of pelvic contraction based on Martha Graham’s technique. 

Area of improvement 2 - Use of breath
Focusing on use of breath will help me flow through movements, this correlates through Martha Graham’s teachings of natural movement. Watching evidence of this creates better understanding and I have applied this to my movement. I have learnt that reflection is important to my training. 

Area of improvement 3 - Use of levels
I have chosen to explore levels as it shows strength behind movements, Martha Graham’s technique states ugliness is beautiful if there’s power behind it. From this I’m improving my skills in strength and with power behind levels shows a stronger dancer. ]]> 2022-11-10 20:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/chloepitt161002/pzugifq8kx440hlj/wish/2379237914 chloepitt161002 https://padlet.com/chloepitt161002/pzugifq8kx440hlj/wish/2379238025 Nutrition - recipes, food shop, personal calorie intake
