Ballet Video - Mid Semester

About mid semester we all watched the video from our class being recorded. There were some things as a class that we all need to work on. First thing first are our plies. I feel like instead of dancing through the pliĆ© and using all the music, we just place our bodies there will we wait for the next thing to do. Another thing at the barre is our arm positions. Everybody is doing different arms so it doesn’t look like as are dancing as an ensemble. Anytime we passe’ our leg up, it has to get there. A lot of us are slowly bringing the leg up and wondering why we can’t balance it. In the fondu exercise, our leg shouldn’t drop after it’s up. I know it’s not an easy thing to do but we all need to push ourselves to keep it up. Everybody needs to make sure they are looking up and projecting out. We need to pretend that class is a performance. When we pique’ onto our leg, we have to remember to go to the leg, rather than bring it under us. The main thing is that we need to learn to dance together, project outwards, and just turn our performance level on.
