For the next year I am going to be setting three goals every three months, giving me time to reach them but also so I can focus on certain things each time, making sure they link together.
1) dynamics, when watching videos back especially in commercial I feel like my dynamics are not where they need to be, I need to be hitting sharper but also having smooth textures to show light and shade. To reach this when I’m in lesson I am going to watch the teachers to see how they portray them, listen to musicality then continue to focus on them to see in a improvement.
2) stops and starts, when I am doing choreography, I need to stop my movement more clearly to highlight how I understand my body and the music when dancing. I will do this by also focusing on this ensuring my core is always engaged and applying it when in lessons.
3) isolations and grooves, this something I have been already practicing in my own time, however I still need to work on pursuing them further. I will do this by doing isolation exercises in the mirror, really focusing on one part of my body. Then for grooves, practice different ones demonstrated by teachers such as Leroy, chad and Jamie.
I believe these goals will help me in all styles and will enhance my overall dancing. I will post videos to show the improvement over the next 3 months.
