Confidence is key!

In cunningham technique we perform a sequence that is more like release; here I perform to my best. When I am in class I think about what I did in the previous class and think about what corrections the teacher gave us so that I can perform them straight away.

This sequence consists of:

• Plie's.
• Tilts.
• Spins/turns.
• Balances/holds.
• Lunges.
• Kicks.
• Shifts.
• Rolls.
• Spacial Awareness.
• Flexibility.
• Strength, these are all things that I am at more of an advantage on compared with the rest of the class, due to gymnastics.

I try to make this sequence my own by altering various things and thinking about why I want to perform this sequence? And why I enjoy this sequence?

• Change in dynamics.
• Making the movements juicey and fluid.
• To perform it using facial expressions and energy that shows.
• Continuous movement.
• Creating different angles.
• Making some movements unexpected (sharp turns).
• The admiration I have for the teacher's movements.
