I used to find it hard to turn without having tension in my shoulders but I started to imagine my shoulder blades are touching each other. My control has improved since last year and spotting. Things to improve are defiently brig my feet in quicker. ]]> 2019-05-02 20:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356401807 JakeThread https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356401953 This is the big jumps for jazz. This is something I have more confidence in doing, I have always loved jumping but never understood the correct technique. My arms in this rehearsal are not strong enough and I'm not using the lateral muscles correctly but my elevation is there. In my picked up spring I could jump higher but I just need to keep practicing it. ]]> 2019-05-02 20:54:58 UTC https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356401953 JakeThread https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356402663 This is not the correct way for the Luigi technique.]]> 2019-05-02 20:57:24 UTC https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356402663 JakeThread https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356402762 This is the correct arm alignment, as I was going into second year I always did (see picture 2) for my arms when kicking in second. In the Luigi style I have learnt that this is the correct rm alignment and not (picture 2). In my opinion this looks better and also adds more style to the sequence or routine rather than being in full parallel. ]]> 2019-05-02 20:57:47 UTC https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356402762 JakeThread https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356403822 I have been working on using my turnout more and the dynamics of kicking my leg higher. I have a lot of work to do on my kicks, since I was sitting out to injury I feel as if I've become more stiff. I need to pull up in the hip and not sit in it. This looks terrible but something for me to work on.]]> 2019-05-02 21:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356403822 JakeThread https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356404036 In this video my arm line is out of line and my back shoulder muscles aren't engaged. To hold your arms in any position I must engage the lateral muscles. If the lateral muscles aren't engaged the arms don't have any strength and your body isn't strong enough to whack the kick. Another thing wrong with this video is the kick is being done behind the arm. I will need to work out on extension and my dynamics for the kicks.This is a problem as when you kick behind your body will tilt. See video 5 for the correct way. ]]> 2019-05-02 21:02:16 UTC https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356404036 JakeThread https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356404602 This is the correct way of doing the head swings in the Luigi arm up. You should have a five finger spread with a straight arm. The hands should be placed in front of the knee caps. Also the head is more controlled therefor there is less chance of injury. I have learnt that this is an important step of the warm up as it gets the head engaged and ready for the sequences and routines. ]]> 2019-05-02 21:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356404602 JakeThread https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356404773 This head swing is from the Luigi warm up. This is done incorrect, as this is a isolation movement the whole body should not be moving. The hands should not be placed on the knee caps and the head should have control when it is swinging. See video 3 for the correct way of doing this isolation. ]]> 2019-05-02 21:04:37 UTC https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356404773 JakeThread https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356405027 This kick exercise is from the Luigi technique. By doing this exercise this will strengthen and make my leg muscles more flexible which will improve my leg extension and height. I will have to do this exercise regularly to get my legs high and strong for my last year of training. As you can tell from my right leg, where I have torn my hamstring the muscle and flexibility has gone therefor I need to rest it and build on it slowly. ]]> 2019-05-02 21:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356405027 JakeThread https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356409510 The Horton technique is a method for the dancer's training. It was developed by the American modern dancer and choreographer Lester Horton. This particular style is good for strengthening the body and is good for alignment. ]]> 2019-05-02 21:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356409510 JakeThread https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356409624 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnbqUjS1pEI

This technique is made of flat backs, tilts, lunges and lateral stretches. The flat back is used to stabilise your core, stretch the hamstrings, mobilise the hips and you will also strengthen the back muscles. ]]> 2019-05-02 22:14:51 UTC https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356417556 JakeThread https://padlet.com/JakeThread/u5ow4t09rk6m/wish/356418442 - By doing this exercise this will strengthen and make my leg muscles more flexible which will improve my leg extension and height.
