Intro to Jazz Dance: Class #8

Intro to Jazz Dance: Class #8
Week #4, Thursday Session

Personal thoughts:

Today was really good! Got in about 11:45, swept, and warmed up. Warm ups were fun included some new stuff like rising to tip toes, stretching arms/then dropping to a pushup and repeating. We didn't do much to add moves, other than to practice pirouettes. It seems that your head turns at the same spot there as with other spotting techniques. Gonna practice that more. The choreography is coming along. As for spotting techniques, apparently we are supposed to use the force of our head turning to drive the second have of our turns. I can work with that. I also noticed that after having a very relaxing mediative morning whistling I was able to gain some extra "zen" by looking back at my morning's experiences. I think I should do that more in the future. We also were told to make some of our moves sharper, and to practice up. I just did 500 spotting turns each direction on the track. What a rush!! gonna keep this up!!!
