In this lesson we look at dances we don't usually do and then went on to research about them and how they can help us as a dancer. I chose street dance as it's a lot faster than my normal style and also it is a alot looser than contempoary.

As you can see this style of dance needs alot of improvement!
Although at a first glance it looks as if i am not able to do street at all. I do have some strength through out; My alingment is good in most of the routine which is good because it shows i can copy movements acreactly and in street dance when working in groups freeze movements need to be totally presise.
My next strength is Good Structure Shape: This is important for freezes in street dance so show claraitiy, again if working in a group you each need to be clear in your movements to help you blend in.
My Final Strength is...My feet are grounded. Throughout the routine my feet tend to keep the dance together however as they are so grounded when doing jumps or lifts they didnt elevate much so therefore i now need to work of quick elevation.
I have many weaknesses which I hope to improve as the weeks go by my first weakness is my lack of tension. When freezing positions in street dance as much as the style is quite lose I still need tension in my arms when extending.
Throughout my routine my head is down; this is because I was unsure still of what I was doing and being filmed is always a bit awkward! Once i feel more confident my head will be up high :)
My elevations need to be alot bigger and more like a firework as in street dance the jumps are like a bomb has exploded and the whole company will be in time with the lift and the fall; I need more of a spring in my step.
My headlights (Hip Focus) was not used at all. I think I thought 'well the dance is lose so therefore i must be' I was wrong !!
Targets:
Tension
Headlights
Spring in my Step
Head up !
