Monday 9th November 2015 - America (2nd Rehearsal)

In this lesson we continued to choreograph parts of America. For the guy section me and Kat worked on the section where the boys are mimicking the girls, this is done behind the girls when they are dancing their main section. We had to change some of the movements when we put it to music, this is because the music is faster than we originally thought, therefore we had to change it to smaller movements to make sure that we had perfect timing. I focused on this whilst Amber and the other girls were working on their section of the dance.

We then worked on fitting the sections together that we had, when doing this we realised that we had more than I originally thought. As well as this it all flowed together well, this meant that we didn't have to spend too much extra time on transitions as we naturally had good transitions. I am really happy about how this number is coming on as we have already choreographed some of the dance breaks, therefore now we can use the material that we currently have and use variations of this. We are going to do this by using choreographic devices such as retrograde, levels and dynamics. Next lesson we are going to work on the final dance break where everyone is dancing together, this is built up to the very end and is made up of fast jumps, turns and claps.
