Conclusion

In Dance, we have been studying dance skills; this has improved my understanding of my own dance ability, and overall I have made progress and developed as a dancer. This is because I now know what areas of my dancing I need to focus on to improve, and I also know what I am good at in dancing. When I watch myself in the mirrors I know how to correct myself and can see what I am doing well. By focusing on specific dance elements for example posture, I know how to improve it as I have done this by researching my focus trainings. By researching and learning in class I have learnt many ways to improve posture, for example my weight should be on the balls of my feet and I need to improve my core to be able to engage it. I can then apply this in my dance classes in and outside of school.

This term I have made a lot of progress in dance theory and Jazz/contemporary, because I have got stronger and improved my fitness levels. I have done this by putting my full amount of energy into each lesson and pushing myself to do better. Whereas before I could barely manage any press ups, and now I can now do them more easily. My core has also improved, by doing the plank and crunches, and overall I am learning to remember to engage my core to improve my posture. With so many amazing dancers around me, I feel inspired to try harder and this helps me to keep my energy levels up even when I am tired and muscles ache.
