Hi dancers

Your milestones based on your blogs have been marked but a large number are lacking detail and a few of the videos have not been downloaded and commented on.

I will give you your milestone feedback in class tomorrow which MUST be followed so that you can improve your grades.

Also we have extra rehearsals after school tomorrow 3.30-6pm for you and yr 13 to practice for next Friday - Joe i have chosen your idea and named it the Winter Wonder Dance Show (thank you for your ticket designs too Joe)

See you period 5

Miss E

Work to complete: 10th and 11th Nov

1) Write up brainstorm of dance styles and like an audit say what you have experience of and what you do not.

2) After this select your areas of strong knowledge and where you have gaps.

3) Discuss the gaps in more detail (link to getting jobs and how this restricts you) and select an area to develop e.g. ballroom dance, hip hop, commercial styles in order to develop your skills base further.

4) Research into the key skills you are going to need to improve, in order to learn the style e.g. ballroom, placement of feet, rise and fall, arm positions, footwork (but lots of detail).

5) Decide where you are going to start – the basics, the beginning steps and film.

6) Analyse film for how you have started. Be really honest and really realistic – ruthless!

7) From this film and your research notes set yourself a schedule of improvement, like a timetable. Write this up. Give yourself now till Christmas hols (16^th Dec).

8) It is now your challenge to log your own personal development and film little video diaries as often as possible.

9) Also if you take pictures these can go in your book.

10) You also need to finish your cv and get your headshots. This then needs to be presented in
your file.

Work will be checked Friday 18th Nov
