Intro to Jazz Dance: Class #26

Intro to Jazz Dance: Class #26

Week 15, Thursday session

This is it! final class!! and oh my, what a focus on the choreo today. We learned a lot of stuff, it feels like we doubled the dance in this one class. Even better, is that while i'm having a bit of trouble remembering the order, i remember enough of all the new steps where with some practice before our final, i'll have it nailed (hopefully). I feel like a real dancer now :)

Week 15, Tuesday session

Last week before finals! and wow my techniques is coming together. I'm much more confident at learning the choreo, and quickly now. I'm also becoming more and more expressive as I do so, that improv class last semster is paying in spades now!! I feel myself instinctively self-expressive in warm-ups on. It's a blast!!

Week 14, Thursday Class

Things went pretty well today. I felt myself put more of an instinctive emphasis into this phrase. I'm pretty damn tired but for whatever reason I feel that I'm getting the motions on a more instinctive level. This dance class is def paying off. I'm much better at this then at the start of the semester.

Week 12, Thursday Class

Starting to get rested/recovered from the opera. On the plus hand this phrase is starting to get more instinctive. As an added perk, all those hours of practicing spotting technique this semester seem to be paying off. :)

Week 12, Tuesday Class

Training and such is going well, but damn. Tired from working all those hours on L'Etoille last week. My shoulder is a bit out too, as pulling the rope down from the curtain was hard work. (Guess I need to rest up a bit before I get too crazy on my training again).
