Hand Jive Improvements

We have been rehearsing in the dance studio in order to use the mirrors and make sure that we are all dancing in unison. I feel that looking back at this recording we are much more confident in the movements and in time with each other. We also made a few amendments to the routine in order for it to look more polished. One of these changes are straight kicking our legs out instead of the left legged Charleston that everyone was struggling with. We also decided that we were going to stay in one spot during the hip thrusts in order to stay central and to minimize the problem of people taking bigger steps forward than others and loosing our formation. My target to improve is to practice the lift with Ramy as we still seem to be a bit wobbly with it. I will book a session in the dance studio with him so that we can see ourselves in the mirror and find where we are going wrong.

Improvements to Hopelessly Devoted

I recorded my workshop in order to watch it back and see if I had improved with my projection and characterization throughout my solo. I felt that my practice for projection had payed off as It is clear that anyone at the back of the theater would be able to hear me. This filled my with confidence as wearing a microphone is only going to make this better. Although I do think that my characterization has improved I still feel that I could improve this further. In order to do this I asked my director how I could improve. He gave me the suggestion to get more emotional during the chorus of the song this way it conveys that i'm in love with Danny but knows he doesn't feel the same way which leaves me heartbroken and frustrated.
