learning the traffic lights slowly.
Throughout this video we just learn the arms and i begin to pick up when our head moves when doing the traffic lights.
I concentrated throughout this hole video to try and get them right, even when it got a bit faster at 0.31 i got a bit confused but carried on and got the rest right. In the breaks i kept going over this as it did get ore confusing when the feet got added and it sped up a bit, but i didnt over worry myself as this could end more worse.


The proper 'audition', me, ray, farrah and joe were first up againist each other and for us to both prove that we were good at this dance and both deserved 'the part'.
Again at the beinging i gave it my all so that i would stand out and the continued to give it my all throughout. At 0.02 seconds i looked forwards when i should have looked at ray but yet i still carried on with the dance and ignored this mistake.
At 0.10 seconds me and ray were looking at eachother smiling to show we was both enjoying it, also our arms are in a good position and made this part look good.
From 10 seconds onwards ray took the roll and moved me around but i still had to control my moves witch i think i did well.
At 0.17 seconds the traffic lights began... 2 seconds after that i forgot them! I still carried on and didnt make a big deal about it i just made sure the next set i did them and did them well.
Coming to an end i made sure that i really showed off what i had learnt so that i stood out from the others making sure they remebered my performance.


Learning the second part of the dance, as you can see it all goes well untill the traffic lights!
At 0.11 seconds i stopped doing the traffic lights and i get confused so i then wait for the next part of traffic lights and get confused again and wait for the next part of the dance! I shoud of tryed to carry on and not just wait for the next part of the dance but i was scared of getting more confused and aking a fool out of myself.
The end par od the dance went ok, i could have dont better but i had only just learnt it therefore i was just picking up the moves.


This part was all about wiggling our hips and being on our toes the whole time.
Me and Ray start ours at 0.18 seconds. At 0.21 seconds i was looking down, i need to have more confidence within myself and look up and not look feet. At 0.22 seconds you can see that me and ray both push our hips out and give a really effective look. also throughout when we are waking you can see that we are both staying on our toes and not losing the effectivness. Again at 0.54 you can see me on my toes. One thing that i have spotted again at 0.55 seconds is me looking down at the floor. Me and Ray near the end of the video then begin to lose our steps and we just walk off, we should of carried on and not just walked off.
So the improvements that need to be done throughout furture lessons is to gain confidence and look up also when forgotten carry on.


Within this video they are teaching us the very begining the dance, as you can see i am looking at the the hole time concentrating on the moves that they are doing and lisneing to what they are saying. At 0.02 seconds i get a bit confused with the arms and what way they were meant to be but i soon change them to the right way by looking at the professionals arms.
When we all perfor it together mine and rays one doesnt look to back we could give more effort but it was our first tie doing it and we was aking sure of getting all the moves right.

'The audidtion'



I feel this part of the audition went really well, me and ray worked really well together helped eachother out on bits we didnt quite get to make the end perforance too good. We made sure that we were smiling and enjoying the dance.
You can see from the very begining of the video clip that i was really giving it my all and really pushing all of my moves. We was also in time with very one else which was good as we wasn't going too fast or too slow.
At 0.10 seconds you can see that i am looking down this isnt as i am looking at the floor and i should be looking up at my partner showing that we are both really enjoying the dance. Although i was concentrating on what i was doing they was judging us as a pair therefore i could have lowered the impressions a bit for both of us.
At 0.14 you can see that me and ray are looking at eachother, as this is a partnered dance and the judges said they wanted to see us getting us geting along well and chemsitry between us we looked at eachother, smiled as uch as we could and gave it our all.
At 0.33 we ended in our last posistion, i waited there untill the judges clapped and didnt move. Also right at the end you can see that even once people had started moving i still waited there and gave the jugdes as uch as i could give.

Show off a skill



This was that part where we had to show off about any good moves we had and as you can see i was the last one to go as i felt i didnt have any, therefore i used the kicks as my tanlent as i couldnt think of anything else and i felt i could do these quite good.
At 0.03 seconds you can see that my arms are in good alignment and that my leg is kicked high. You cannot see in this shot but everytime i kicked my leg i tried to make my toes pointed.
At 0.06 seconds you can see that my back leg isn't straight so this is an improvent that needs to be done. Methods that i could do this is by balancing on one leg and with the other leg put it back and slowly put it higher making sure that it is always straight.
At 0.13 seconds you can see that my leg is really high yet i was still keeping balance, my toe looks pointed but could use some improvents and y arms look floppy. My arms need to be out and straight.
