I am hoping to increase my ability in dance by listening, learning and also self criticism. This will hopefully show my strengths, weaknesses and improvements in what I do inside the dance studio. I am hoping to achieve goals set (weekly and termly) so that I can see progress in my choreographing and performance.
My strengths include:
- Flexibility.
- Strength in arms, abdominals and legs.
- My determination has increased.
- Motivation.
- Performance is increasing.
- Improvisation.
- Strength in my back is weaker than my abs, my back is flexible but not strong.
- Ballet; jumps (co-ordination).
- ; footwork (landing flat footed in leaps in ballet).
- ; when I make a mistake I pull various facial expressions (make it obvious).
I need to think about the muscles and bones moving and how it effects how I dance; this could either alter or improve my dancing and range of movements. With this I need to think about performing in ballet "showing off". Helping with my strength work, I need to increased the intensity of the muscle in my back.
Targets to achieve:
- Improve overall in ballet.
- Perform in ballet.
- Using the feet as much as possible in all techniques.
- Using my breath more.
- Attend more classes outside of lesson time.
- Build up the confidence to "show off" in ballet aswell as other techniques.
- Using a theraband, stretching and practising moveing through the feet.
- Think about deepening movement through breath.
Improves you completly as a dancer.
A quote from Cirque Du Soleil explains the power behind why I dance;
"Creativity is the fire behind your success, and the centre of this creative energy are talented individuals with passion to challenge their own limits."
I am interested in how the inner body reacts and changes when I dance in the studio and I am beginning to recognise and apply this on a daily basis.
