Ok so it's been a while, so long in fact that AN wants me to start a new thread - lol, no thanks
Mostly I've just been going to dance class every Wednesday and doing what I percieve to be my best at that current moment. Some lessons I wear my ankle weights for some excersises and forget to take them off even when the others have, and man, doing leaps with them on really slows you down!
I'm thinking 1 hour a week isn't enough though considering the goal ahead so I really need to do some extra stuff. I'll definatley go to MADSOC ballet classes after mid term break, but even this might not be enough, so I need to find the motivation to do some stretching and strength excersises in a pocket of time somewhere.
Today we did something different at the end of class - improv. We had to dance freestyle in small groups in front of everybody. Whilst what I did was complimented by the teacher and some of the class as my "technique has come so far since (I) started" I feel like it wasn't as good as it could have been since I was a little nervous/embarrassed, since whilst I often improvise, I only when I'm alone. This is another thing I should work on to be a better dancer - improvising in front of people and being confident in it.
Ok so - goals for next week:
Stretch 1 additional time
Do a strengthening work out 1 additional time
Practice improv 1 additional time
Let's see if I can acheive the above before next Wednesday...
