Evaluation of Grease Hand Jive

Some of the key elements of my self- application as a dancer. Of which includes having good attendance and punctuality. By having good attendance and punctuality has allowed me to be more disciplined. Also, it has allowed me to have more preparation within rehearsals and run through of the piece.

One of my strengths was accuracy of movement. For example, in the first section of the hand jive I was doing the movements to a fill extent. Also, making sure that the actions done are exactly the same as it was taught. For instance, this was by going over the videos knowing the counts with the movement. Another strength that I have noticed is control. For example, within my duet with Georgia , when we do contact work. Which includes lifts that I have to make sure, I maintain control when lifting her up. The use of me having good strength has helped me a lot, within the lifts/counter tensions. This was through practicing core and strengthening exercises, i.e. push ups and sit ups.

One of my weaknesses within this dance piece was my timing. For example, this was shown in the first half of the dance when I was doing the chopping movement. As, i was slightly out of time from everyone else. For instance, i should be hitting the set beat of the action. Another weakness that I have noticed is confidence. For example, sometimes within the dance that I would act slightly puzzled or confused. As, of this I should know instantly on what movements to do. In addition, knowing what I do is right. For example, one way of how i could work on timing is through listening to the music. Knowing when the beat would come in to hit on certain movement. Such as the chopping movement.
