Our assignment was to watch ourselves in the video that was recorded. we were also suppose to look as the class as a whole.
I will begin by talking about the class as a whole. we do not move anywhere near a ensemble. There are some people who stand at the same barre and might have the same timing but as a full class we are not together or anywhere close at the barre. i believe that in the center we are better as a whole but it is not where we should be. I think the best way to maybe fix this would be to have a class discussing what you want our arms to do especially during plies because everyone's are different. and we need to also watch each other and listen to the music. I think that as a class we are yearning to do the correct movements and get the combination right so then we are so focused on that that we do not pay attention to those around us. watching the video i have also found things out about myself that i need to work on. i found that during some of the barre exercises my weight is set back. i learned that when I do turns in the middle and at the barre i need to put more force behind them and that I pull my arms down in turns when they need to be up. I believe my foot needs to be streached more in everything i do. I also found that when I am at the barre and in a balance I reach for the barre right when I become unstable, I need to focus on not reaching for the barre and just trying to fix my balance like I would in the center.
I need to keep going when I mess up because I tend to stop a lot too.
