I feel in the dance that i am ore enthusastic about it as the weeks have gone one as i feel i have improved alot more from the first time i did it.
At 0.04 seconds you can see that i worked through the floor to get to this poing and my toes are pointed. One thing to improve on here is to bring my back more upright so the whole thing look strong and presentable. I also need to work on standing upright at 0.09 seconds. At 0.12 seconds you can see that i am doing a demi point on my right foot, i feel that my demi point is good and i always push as high off the ground as possible. At 0.13 you can see that i had just started my 'ankle, knee down'. At this point my foot is at my ankle, my toe is pointed well and have stood up straighter and improved my posture at this point. At 0.18 seconds i feel that my toe is pointed well, i have wroked through the floor and leg is extended to is full, i am proud of this! 0.37 we have gone into second position and started our demi points, i feel that my demi point is good and high and my second position is a good width apart. I need to improve on the alignment in my arms as they are on a bit of a slop downwards so i need to bring them up to shoulder hight. At 0.40 we lift off the ground, compared to everyone else i feel i have pushed myself abit to high off of the ground so maybe i shouldnt have such a spring in my push off, but a good thing i have done is that i have pointed my toe kept y arms up and kept a tall body. At 0.49 seconds you can see that i a faster than a few of the people in my class as i am touching my knee and they are only on there ankle so i need to concentrate on keeping in time with everyone else. My toe is again pointed and i am holding my balance well for my leg to be high up. At 1.00 you can again see that i have lifted my leg up high, my toes are pointed and my arms this time are in alignment. An improvement that i can see here is that i have tilted my head with my body so i need to keep my head straight and look forward. At  1.10 you can see that we started the development, we closed into 5th position and i feel that my feet turn out rather wide so my 5th position looks good. This was out second time doing the developent part so it is not that good. At 1.13 we started to push our leg round, you can see that i have fully extended my leg but i have leant to the side, i need to improve on this and stand up straight. At 1.17 seconds you can see that i have jumped out as wide as possible with arms still in alignment. At 1.19 you can see that when coming forward with my foot i havent exteneded it to my full potential and toe is not pointed this needs to be improved. At 1.31, this shot you can see me jumping up and you can see that i have a big spring in my foot and i a trying to get as much hight as possible. At 1.34 you can see when pushing my foot back forward  that i have extended it more this time and have a upright posture.

Improvements:
When doing the first part of exercise push off floor but not so high that my legs are nearly in a right angled posistion
When pushing foot backwards at the beggining of the development keep body in upright position.
Keep arms in alignment at all times
Extend leg when going forwards and point toes

How to improve these:
Be alot lighter on my feet and only get a small push off of the ground
Practice this when standing straight with arms down and the more it gets better start to add arms in as i feel that me leaning to the side has something to do with my arms as i feel my body following them round, also when doing this try going forwards with my leg to get the full extention and pointed toes when going forwards for the developent
I have mentioned strong arms in a few of my other blogs so by doing an exercise that will stregthen my arms will help hold the up
