Physical Skills - What Went Well

I think in this performance my extension was better than my last dance performance, this is good as this one of my targets to focus on. This was especially good in my arms as when we had to reach out to the models, during rehearsals I had worked on this a lot so that in the performance my extension would have had improved.

Even Better If -

This performance would have better if I had better balance and co-ordination, especially during the freeze fames , if my balance was better I would have been able to stay in the same position rather than having to put my foot down. This would have looked better as I would be still with everyone else as we were supposed to be in a freeze frame.

Interpretive Skills - What Went Well

When watching my performance back I thought that my facial expressions had improved a lot from the last performance, this meant that I was able to portray the theme of the dance to the audience better. This was also one of my targets and therefore I focused on this during rehearsals by using the mirrors in the dance studio so I could see what I was doing more clearly.

Even Better If -

My performance would have been better if I had better focus throughout, this is because I didn't have great special awareness, during the dance I occasionally bumped into other people and some of the set. This could have made the dance look messy to the audience, If I had worked on this It would have made the performance more fluid and clean.

My targets are -

• Balance and co-ordination - For my next performance I am going to work on my balance so that I can keep in one place for a longer amount of time without having to move. I am going to do this by doing different exercises regularly, such as standing on one leg and hold it for as long as possible and then on the other leg.
• Focus - This is particularly in terms of special awareness as when dancing it is important that you don't bump into anyone or anything. I am going to do this for my next performance and work with other people who are dancing around me to make sure that we can work around each other without bumping into each other.
