This is the same dance that i last posted but as a class we have made it look more effective by added cheographic devices in to it. We firstly started off by using repition at the begining and using accualation. I think this works really well as it looks ore intresting and it is not repeated too much. At 0.16 we then all walk back in unison, we was all in time and it looked really good. We then used changed relationships as at 20 seconds we all turn except shannon and we left her to carry on from what we was just doing. Also us three that turn were all in time and also in time with what why shannon is leaning. She then joins us again, and we go into unision, when going back to bringing our hands down softly. At 0.25 seconds we then go into cannon when throwing our arms then join back in unison when throwing them back the other way. We then think of use of space and spread in to a diagnal line. We carry on in unison until we go to the floor. We then use again changed relationships were me and elle-lousie are left on the flood and becky and shannon carry on. Using heavy we throw our arm back and fourth once then the second time we stop unill it comes to us joining back it and going back into unison. We then carried on in unison so that we didnt keep changed it so it looked messy. at 0.50 seconds elle-lousie stops the unison chain and carrys on doing her part of the dance, then after i have come down from jump on our hands i stop and just do one move but different to elle-lousies move, then after the roll shannon stops and does her move. We have tryied to make it look like if a cd gets stuck and we go back and fourth with our one move. But we also have some targets which are vary the dynmics, know dance better, make sure we are all in time and know all directions we are going in.


In this video we added a new part on to the dance, you can see clearly the parts we knew and the parts that were knew to us. I dont feel that this is one if my strongest videos and i forget a few parts but there are some strong parts in there.
At the begining you can see that i am using heavy energy and following my hand round to make this look better. I then softly bring my hand down in front of my face, then at 0.07 seconds i sharply throw it away spin round and walk. We the brush forward at 0.10 second bring our leg up, i feel the walk before this shows good suspention and i show heavy energy when pushing forwards. at 0.14 seconds we spin, this is good suspntion for not knowing whats going to happen next, to make this look better and neater i need to bring my leg in and make me foot touch my knee. At 0.15 seconds we then do a fall and recovery, this is good as i fall low, but for the second fall i could fall lower. After using that heavy energy i then bring my hand slowly and softly downwards. At 0.19 seconds heavy energy then picks up again as we throw our arm to our hand and the throw it back. we then do a stern walk diagnally across to then lift out leg up. At 0.23 seconds you can see that my eg has great height but i do not hod the suspention for very long so to make this more effective i coud hold the suspention for longer and also curve my stomache in more. At 0.26 seconds we then go into a turn, i need to lift my leg more and greater suspention. At 0.28 i then do a tilt i feel this tilt looks good. At 0.30 seconds i then roll the wrong way to the others so i am a little behind on this bit. At 0.40 the new bit we had learnt has started and at this point i am spinning, i feel what where my arms are out it is giving me more balance, also my body is upright. I then forget to slide as it is only new to me, so i just go down onto my knees. When on my knees i then use heavy energy and drop down to the side, this is then followed on by my torso circling round, at 0.46 you can see this, i am low down but to make this look better i coud have a flat back. at 0.48 seconds we then go onto the out side with legs in the air, i did not find this easy but i stil tried to do it, to make this better i just have to practice it. At 0.51 seconds we are performing a movement like a handstand, you can see that i did this well but to look better i coud point my toes. Then at the ending i need to come up through the spine and slower.


 This fall and recovery exercise is most definatly the hardest technique to do, with ease and involves alot of core muscle, i find. At 0.01 seconds you can see me devanting, i feel going forwards is the hardest to to reduce this problem i need to work on my core muscles more. Also next lesson i will try and take a risk by going beyond the easy point. I then come back with a high leg, to improve this i should point my toes. At 0.04 seconds, i am falling to the side, i feel that this one has now become easy and i look like i have gone low so for next lesson again i will go further than this. At 0.05 seconds i am suspending back to the orginal position, i feel this is a good suspention and leg is high and toe is pointed. At 0.07 seconds i have fell back, i have a good arch in my back and i am leaning back well. We then do this again and you can see that i go beyond easy point and strech back even more and take risks. When recovering i do this quickly as i begin to lose my balance so this is a target for next time we do this technique. At 0.13 seconds you can see that i have great hight in my leg and have pointed toes. At this moment i also held great suspenion to then lead on to a good fall posistion were i was low but could have been lower. At 0.17 seconds we begin on the other leg. When i fall forwards i use greater risk this time but i still know that i can fall futher if i engage my core muscles more. Onwards from here you can see that all my kicks are good and have good hieght, all my falls are good also. One things to ake me look even ore better would be to point my toes on all kicks.

This floor exercise i have progressed alot from the very begining. At the very begining you can see that my attiude has improved but this still needs alot of work, i need to arch my back more and not look like my arms are slopping straight down. At 0.03 seconds you can see that i am mid way through rotating my head, and you can see that i have really used heavy energy in my head really thought about getting the full circle. At 0.08 seconds you can see that when arching over i have got a goo arch in my back, really streching over with a good strong arm and legs are strong and pointed. This improves week by week and keeps looking better. At 0.19 seconds this attiude is really bad, i need to work on these for next lesson and improve them. By improving them i need to practice them and then focus on getting in to an attitude qiuckly as i think this is my main problem. Again whe rotating my head at 0.22 seconds i have rotated my head well and got as low as possible when doing this. at 0.24 you can see that this reaching position is really good, i have energy flowing and i am holding this position well. At 0.32 you can see that i have took great risk in throwing my lunge forwards and maybe even next week i could take greater risk and go beyond easy point.

In this video you can see that i have put my hair up and have reduced any risk that there was and fought about heath and saftey. At the very begining of the video you can see that my toe is well pointed, my leg is at a strong hold and i have kept my body upright. At 0.03 you can see that my rise is high, i have still kept and upright position and still have all balance. At 0.06 seconds i lift my leg, this is a high lift but my leg isnt very straight so next lesson i will think more about getting my leg straight and not so much hieght as i can build on this through out the weeks. Good suspention after lifting my leg. At 0.11 seconds you can see that have shown more of an extention in my leg and looks better than ast week. At 0.20 i am in first posisiton and i feel that my toes are pointed well but my leg could be more straight and look stronger. At 0.21 seconds again you can see that even in first posistion my rise is still good and is high and core is engaged. At 0.24 seconds you can see that my leg is turnt out and toes are pointed well. at 0.28 seconds you can see that toes again are well pointed but it is obvious that my left leg isnt as strong as my right. at 0.31 seconds i put my heel up, it is well flexed and i am not leaning backwards as uch as last week. At 0.31 i am pushing my leg outwards and it is pushed out well and toes are pointed. When raising i have kept my balance centeral and i am again high on my toes. When kicking outwards i lose my balance a little bit so next lesson i need to concentrate on keeping my balance.

Throughout this lesson i have improved alot since last lesson and even more since my first lesson, now i have alot more softness but i know when i have to be sharpe with my movements and i never had this when i first started this technique.

Improvements that still need to be made are using resistance in tongu's and have higher energy.


In this video my perforance if very accurate, this is because i have got my hair down therefore this effected y performance. Also i wasnt very safe as by having my hair down this could also run into a health and safety issue. But from this video you can see that there are still improvements i have made from last week. At 0.05 seconds when putting my arms in to alignment i did it with a soft move and my arms are in good alignment. At 0.06 seconds i lift out of my torso to do atilt so i am not crushing my ribs and keep my arms in good alignment. At 0.10 seconds you can see i am coming back up working through my spine and leaving head dropped till last. After this i then again softly put my arms back in alignment. This is an iprovement from last week. When going down at 0.13 seconds i use heavy energy and go down forcefully and also take a risk in going down this much. This is a another improveent fro last week. At 0.19 seconds i tilt the wrong way so next time i need to go the right way and know my directions. At 0.28 seconds i show a good plank and i am still low. And after this when coing up again i work through the spine.

From this video you can see that i am on form and ready to start the dance in perfect kit. At the begining of this video i throw my arm backwards and bring it round to the front of me, you can see that when i throw my arm i use heavy energy and also keep it very straight till i bring it infront of me. One thing i could do to make this look better is follow my arm with my head. When bringing my arm down slowly i can see that i keep the softness there until i then use heavy energy again and throw my arm round till it turns me round. When turning at 0.03 seconds you can see that i bring my leg up but i feel i can make this alot better by bringing it higher and make it look neater by brining it to my leg and pointing my toes. At 0.06 seconds you cannot really see me but i know that i really threw myself, still controlling myself, and made this look really good. At 0.11 seconds i started turning before everyone else so i need to be in time with the others. Also i feel that here i could have used more heavy energy. At 0.14 seconds i feel that i could have gone beyond the point of 'easy' and took more of a risk in going further. This is one of my targets for next lesson. At 0.16 seconds again when brining my arm down i feel that i kept this move really soft. After this move i again threw my arm using alot of heavy energy. At 0.23 seconds we arm spinning round with suspension, here i feel that i didnt spin round good as i just spun quickly and my leg is very low to the floor. to improve this i can spin lower and bring my leg out to add the effectiveness. I then forgot the next part so i next time i need to rememeber it. At 0.035 seconds you can see that i am on my toes and have realy tried to get at high as possible and keep a straight back. At 0.331 seconds i have slid across the floor to get up, i feel that this looked really good and i have kept low to the floor with one of my legs keept straight, i have also kept my arm straight up in the air so it looks good.
On this dance i have definatley improved alot since the very beggining, there is one part i forgot in this video but other than that i have really improved. You can see that im not affraid to take risks and i use alot of heavy energy when throwing my arms.

At the very begining of this dance i feel my attitude position is good, but improvements would include alignment in my arms. When on the floor i feel that the twist of my neck and torso is good and has improved alot since the first time as i put more effort into it. At 0.06 seconds you can see that i am fully streching and reaching as far as i can. At 0.07 seconds i am keeping low to the floor but i could improve this further but going even lower. At 0.14 seconds i have a heavy full and have took risk in falling forward but i feel i could have a bigger lunge to make this look better. Again at 0.22 seconds the twisting of my torso and neck is good and i am taking risks and trusting myself more. At 0.24 second you can see that my leg is fully extented  and i am as low as possible. the second lunge at the end was a lot better than the first and again i was taking risks and falling heavly.


At 0.02 seconds i have a good parallel position but i need to enagage my core more to make me look better and more professinal. At 0.05 seconds my leg looks strong and i have good pointed toes. At 0.08 seconds the ball of my foot is off the floor and my toes are up pointing to the ceiling. 0.10 seconds my leg is up and bent passed my knee, toes are pointed and my leg that is straight is at strong hold. At 0.11 i have a good suspension hold and i am up on my toes. At 0.15 seconds my toes are again pointed well and looks strong, this time my core is more engaged. At 0.16 we lifted, i am on my toes and lifted high and head it held up. At 0.19 my leg is bent, again my toes are pointed and his high. My shoulders are look really forward i need to bring them up. 0.22 seconds my 1st position is good. At 0.26 we lifted in first position, my core is well engaged and y feet are high off the floor and legs are strong. At 0.29 i have lifted my leg and you can see that i have losed my balance i need to improve this. At 0.34 i a look straight my toe is we pointed but i need to make my leg stronger as it doesnt look strong at this point. At 0.37 i put i foot upwards but i push out my bum i need to improve this and continue to stand up right. At 0.38 seconds i put my leg out, my toes are well pointed i just need to continue to keep my balance centre. And at the end i forget the suspension so i need to remember to always do the suspension


This is the first exercise we learnt and compared to the first video there are so any improvements that have been made. The first improvement i can see is that my arms look good and are in good alignment. At 0.03 you can see that i have really put effort into my fall and gone low down. At 0.08 you can see that i am really rolling up through my spine and neck. At 0.15 seconds you can see that i have lifted up so i am not crushing my ribs. When it gets to 0.20 seconds i continue the flow and movement and go down into a plank. I feel my plank is looking good as i am low and i have kept the whole of my back is flat. I then get up smoothly and hold still until the camera is off.
This is one of the best videos for improvements as we all know the technique well and are pushing ourselves to the limit.
