Targets

I need to improve my posture when dancing, as good posture means you are less likely to get injured. To improve my posture I firstly need to improve my core, I can do this by doing crutches, plank and press ups. I will develop it daily by doing crutches in the breaks of adverts and this will develop my posture, as I will feel where my abdominals are so I can engage them. I will also remember to engage my core, not pop my ribs out by imagining them sewn together and open my chest to overall give me better posture.

To develop my Port De Bras, I need to by going through the arms without the feet, to feel where the movement should be, and to feel the fluidity throughout my arms. I will do a few press ups each day in the breaks of watching TV. I will also try and remember to relax my shoulders, so that no tension is held there. Dancers need good Port de bra to make them look more elegant and to finish of the line.

 

Lastly I will develop my turn out so the lines of the body and the position is more pleasing to the eye and more presentable when seen turned out. It also increases mobility and you are less likely to trip when dancing turned out. It allows you to move in different directions more easily. When your feet are parallel, moving sideways or backwards is much more difficult than if you were turned out, it increases the height of your extensions and lastly it creates a more stable balance. I will work on the Hip Abduction/Adduction Machine in the gym for longer on my PE lesson on Thursdays. I will also aim to Plie at least 30 a day, and will do this mostly while brushing my teeth or waiting for the microwave to finish. I will also complete the hip rotator excise when I am bored or waiting for something.

By doing all these things every day I will be able to develop my dancing more easily and be able to make more progress.
Next term targets
1. To improve my core so I can engage my abdominals when dancing.
2. Not to hold any tension in my arms or left shoulders up.
3. To hold my turn out and Glut muscles for a stronger more stable body.
