Monday 28th September 2015 - Gym Mambo (2nd Lesson)

In this lesson we continued to learn the gym mambo, i found this lesson difficult as my partner was not in the lesson, this meant that i had to learn the new material by myself. When doing this i was unable to work on the way that i dance with my partner as i didn't have one, this is important that me and Phoebe do this as we have found it difficult. I think that this may be because she is taller than me and i am dancing the male part and she is dancing the female part, this is especially when i have to turn her, i find that i have to releve to be able to do it. As a group i felt as though we found spacing an issue today this was also because there was a large amount of people who were not in the lesson, this meant that we couldn't block the spacing, only learn some of the movements, however some of these may change when there are more people as there may be less space meaning some things are impossible to do without bumping into other people. In the next lesson i am going to focus on working my Phoebe so that we can dance this successfully and make it look s though it is appropriate for the time era and the context of the play.
