Youtube challenge

At first I was watching the dancers with the music they orignially dance to but it got boring to me and I turned down their music and put on my own and it was actually quite intresting and I enjoyed it. When watching the dancers walk and run while transtioning into something else im noticing that their pelivs is getting them there and not stuck in one spot because its forward and not back.

Yeilding,Push,Reach and Pull

I want to say I yeild and push more so then I reach and pull because alot of times I catch myself stoping my movement or noticing that I have more then what I'm giving.

Readings 5-8

Breath brings life and movement and makes you move with more fluidity and ease.That's one thing I notice I don't do when I dance which is breathe. So if i would just breathe when I dance I wont look stiff and things should be easier. In the book it also talks about your core and thats another major thing I need to work on like getting it stronger and also know when my core initiate something which always the hardest for me to do.

Dusan Tynek Dance Theatre

The Dusan Tynek Dance Theatre were amazing I enjoyed watching them. It was a diverse cast with amazing talent. The dancers did a lot of walking and running in the dances which was great because sometimes you forget that walking and running is also apart of dance you don't always have to be doing a "dance step". You could see dancers personalities coming through as they were dancing . Partnering wasn't only just done with a girl and a guy but boy boy girl girl and also girls were lifting guys. Also, I realize that for more then half of the show the wings were up and you were able to see the dancers as they left the stage and waited to dance and they were still in character just quietly standing waiting to go back on.It was nice to see this company dance sometimes you get caught up in the big companies and forget that there are small companies just as good.

Parts to whole

I think its great that we are working on upper/lower in class breaking them apart and also moving all together. It gives us practice cause I know sometimes I dont exactly seperate the  arm from the leg when ask so it gives the movement a different look. Also,when we are laying in the x and when we contract I notice im not always starting with my core.

Body Check in

I'm very tired and it's weird because even though i'm not in ensable my body is still worn out especially my feet by the end of modern it's hard to stand on them.Somdays im pretty decent at balancing other days im not.I think im more aware of my alinment and where I need to fix things i just have to keep working on them and being more present and dancing whole body.

Being Present

In class we work on making a solo up for auditions. I wasnt satisified with my performance and the dance in general I need to work on it more especially the choregoraphy . I felt some what rush but only because I'm too picky when making up a dance and it usually takes me weeks to make up a dance .
