There are a few areas that I need to develop specific skills in. This page will follow my progress in these areas. Firstly, my specific goals (note: this will be developed and refined as time goes on):
Ballet
- Pirouettes x 6.
- Splits in both directions.
- Develop a large plie.
- Develop a good fifth position.
- Learn correct port de bras and head placement.
- Develop good jumps in fourth.
Gymnastics/XMA
- Successive Back Handsprings x 10
- Coming Soon.
- My main goal at the moment is to study in a release based style so I can get a very smooth style of movement happening.
- I think that having experience in a wide range of dances adds to my creativity and movement abilities, i'm currently studying Bollywood and already can feel its influence in my dance. It is a very happy and joyful dance that I love doing. So I think I will stay open to experiencing other types of dance as well - African dances etc. They all add to my movement vocabulary and dynamic - I remember doing a Senegalese dance class once that had wild, flailing arm movement, a very distinctive style which could really facilitate a more release based style.
Choreography
- Coming Soon.
Fitness and Strength
- 10 unassisted hand stand push ups.
