Identification: I am the one wearing a lacey top, with medium sized sleeves, I have my hair in a quiff and I was on the far right handside, second in. - 'Cell Block Tango'
Cell Block Tango:
Cell Block Tango was the main dance I was in and felt like I could show off my dancing a lot more. Throughtout the rehearsal process I got into more and more, every time we did it. I got more and more angry when we did too. Throughtout my performance I felt I was really loud when I had to speak and sing. In the rehearsal process I didn't sound very loud, but when it got to the performance it we had mics but as my confidence grew each time I did it, I was very loud and confident in the show. I thought mine and Dylans separate choreography went really well and was really effective with the red cloth. I also thought my timing was good and I had very strong posture and arms, when I was dancing. I had to make sure my arms were sharp and it was a very sharp piece of music and very fast too. My characterisation was very good. I looked very angry as my character was meant to be angry, as from my speaking part you could tell my husband had cheated on me. Overall I was extremely happy with this performance.

Identification: I was in the third group from the left.
Razzle Dazzle:
In the rearhsal process this was probably the last one we choreographed and in so little time, as we were running out of time. We literally had 45 minutes to quickly choreograph it. So this may be why this one was a bit sloppy in the middle, in the performance. Thankfully, it got a lot better towards the end and ended up pulling through. Mine and Emily's leg movements were in time with music which worked very well and we didn't bump into each other either, like we did in rehearsals a few times. Tableaux was really good and they were very strong and held nicely. Also the finger clicks had to be sharp and they looked very sharp throughout. Overall it didn't go to bad, but it could of possibly gone a bit better at the beginning and been a lot less sloppy and less out of time. I feel this happened because lack of time we had choreographing it with Sam.
(Tableaux - means a still picture, with a form of fosse movements.)
All That Jazz:
Identification: I was in the second row, far right, next to Dylan.
I felt this dance was my second best, as it had really sharp movements and I had very good posture when it was needed. I also had a lot of fun in this one, as I got to play a sexy lady andhad to look sexy when doing these moves. My arms were very strong throughout it and I was in time a lot. I think I maybe could of improved on the turning bit towards the end.Overall I felt it was a very good performance, but maybe I could projected my voice a bit more when we had to sing.
Dance Show:
Identification: I wore a blue jumper and black leggings and I was the first person to start off the dance, being centre stage.
Rehearsal for Street Dance:
The Song: Usher - Scream
In the rehearsal video the timing looked really good, as we worked really together as a team. We always helped each other out, to the best of their abilitys. I thought I could smile a lot more, as it's meant to be a cheery, upbeat song. Overall I think working well as a team in rehearsals was good and it was a very strong performance from us all.
Final Street Dance Performance:
Identification: blue jumper - the one who started the dance off and was already on stage when the music began.
Unfortunately we ended up only having 4 people in our street dance routine, which was really annoying as we were suppose to have 6. It didn't affect the final performance that much, as we were able to practise a few times without them in it and it still worked really well and fitted well with all of them timings. The performance started off really strong. It was important for me to start the performance of strong, as I was first on, already centre stage. Also I had to remember to smile, which I did. My arms were strong throughout the peroformance and I had good sharp movements. Overall we pulled together well as a 4, and I felt like it went perfectly and there weren't any flaws. I'm a street dancer, so I felt extra confident doing it.
All That Jazz Final Performance:
Identification: black long sleeved top, with leggings and new yorkers. On the far right hand side, second row back, nearest to the middle. Hair was also in a mini type quiff.
This performance also went very well. It wasn't the final performance of 'All That Jazz', as this was only for the dance show, not Chicago. So I didn't have a very good costume to wear for this one. Although it wasn't exactly our show, didn't mean I shouldn't of not out any effort in. I still did the best I could do. I had strong arms throughtout he performance which was important. I also lookedvery confident and confidence is defnitely key. I had a good posture and sharp movements when they were needed. Overall I think it went really well and siked me up for the doing it our Chicago performance. I gained alot more confidence and felt I can do even better in the Chicago one.
Overall I think I did really well in all of my performances and I felt very confident throughout. My timing was good and I had strong sharp movements in there. I wanted to make sure I did my best in 'Cell Block Tango' as that was my main role, playing six. I felt like it was my best performance as I showed really good characterisation and dancing. Plus I enjoyed it the most of all the others as it was the most energetic and had more dancing and moving around in.
