Dance As

Week 2 Term1

Today was the first Dance As lesson of the year. From todays lesson I got a deeper understanding of the course that I will be taking. We do a written paper for an hour and a half which is out of 60 marks (40%). The other practical work which includes a solo choreography and Performance, a duet/Trio Performance out of 90 marks (60%).
The course is based on mainly contemporary, but also jazz technique. We will research historical and cultural of contemporary and jazz.

What Went Well?
I picked up the choreography quickly. By doing this I could then work on the dynamics of the motifs. For example when we do the swing motif, I used the heaviness of my head, this makes it look more interesting to watch as it looks relaxed and is fluid.

Even Better If?
Next time I think I will focus on traveling and the core strength so when I turn and finish in parallel so it looks effortless. Working on the core will also help me travel. I will also work on my elevation, coming from the corner will did jumping and rolling. Jumping after the floor is a lot of work, it requires core strength and elevation.
