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.

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.

Each week i feel myself getting better and better at these, still needing more improvements, but the more i get better the more enthusastic i am about these.
At 0.02 seconds you can see that my leg is out wide and my body is kept upright, also you can see in my face that i am really concentrating. At 0.08 seconds you can see my plie, my feet have graudally got wider throughout the weeks and i feel this is a good plie as i can also hold my balance at this width apart. Also at 8 seconds you can see that every time i come back from pushing my foot out i am coming back into a full plie whereas before i would only coe back half way. At 0.22 seconds you can see that my toes are not pointed to full potentail, this is still soething that needs to be worked on. Another thing that still need improving is working through the floor as i still dont do this very often. At 0.26 seconds you can see that my toes are pointed. So i need to work on getting my toes pointed every time my foot leaves my other foot. Also at 26 seconds you can see i am starting to lean to the side, so i found the less extentions on one foot the ore i lean so this needs improving. When dont one on each foot a stil wobbled a tiny bit but not as uch as before which is an improvement!

Improvements:
work through the floor
point toes every time leg gets extended
i wobble only a litte so try hardest not to wobble at all!

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

Plie devlopments, when doing these i can really feel my quads and hamstrongs really working.
At 0.00 seconds you can see that i have really arched my back and gone down into a lowish plie. could be lower. also my arms are rounded and structured well. At 0.03 seconds i dont think my plie is wide enough and could be better, also my arms are way to high they need to be lowered. But my back has a good curve. At 0.06 seconds i am going faster than everyone else and not using the whole 8 counts, i and also really sticking my stomach out! this needs to be sorted so i am just rotating my back and not my hole top half of my body. At 0.19 seconds i am again sticking my stomach out, but my arms are straight and in a good position. At 0.26 seconds  i dont give much of a arched back in second position at this point. Also my arms aint very structured and are nearly straight in this shot. At 0.29 seconds i go down into a good plie and have a good curved back but again my arms are too high this denfinatly needs improving! At 0.30 seconds, the second arch was alot better than the first and my plie has increased. 0.34 sticking stomach out again...
At 0.53 we started the development and i automatically stick my bum out, i need to make my back more upright and suck bum in! 1.07 seconds i am leaning forward which is leadin to my bum stcicking out. We then did the bounces, this was hard as it hurt my legs alot but i coped through it. At 1.17 my arms are nearly in alingment but need to be a little more straighter. At 1.23 seconds my heel comes up, i feel it come up quite high and this is good. At 1.28 i start to wobble when trying to balance on toes, so this is another thing that needs to be worked on. i am really tryin to concentrate to keep my balance. Also arms are in alignment. 1.43 good ending posisiton.

Improvements:
Alot of improvements are needed on this exercise!
- dont stick bum out on development
- keep arms in alignment at all times
- dont stick stomach out on first part of exercise
- keep balance on development
- on first part of exercise dont put arms to high
- increase leg strength

How to improve these:
- hold back upright to prevent bum sticking out
- create exercise to keep arms strong so alignment is easy to hold
- practice rotating only the top half of my back with someone holding my waist, then get them to let go and see if i can do it alone
- practice balance then hopefully will improve when on toes
- practice exercise and make sure arm are low
- create exercise based on legs to improve strength on them.
