Lesson with Dominick

Lesson with Dominick 

While in lesson with Dominick, we have been learning dance sequences for the dances. So far, i have done okay on Thursday, although what I needed to work on at that time, is the fact that I need to be on time with which part I switch and turn around, alongside the fact that I need to put my legs straight.


Dance sequence with me and Ada.

1) Reach to right side and lift your left leg on the left side and put your right arm, on the right.
2) Put your right leg forward and left leg back, put your left hand on in front of your head.
3) Kick up; right leg first then left.
4) Turn behind and lift and kick behind with right leg.
5) Salute back and forth.
6) Kick again with same movement.
7) Butterfly.
8) Go behind Ada.
9) Move your right around and back, and do the same with left.
10) I move to the right side, while Ada moves left.
11) Lift right knee, move your head left, then left knee, move your head right.
12) I move my right leg around clockwise.
13) Move three times, then enter into a lunge that will finish the dance sequence.

Action
How precise I was with the moves.

Dynamics - (Sharp and Soft)
The movements that were used in the performance was clean; it was not messy and the movement were clearly seen to be sharp in terms of how we use our arms and legs.

Action 
The action on my performance with Ada was quite excellent in my opinion; we had the timing, and the look rightly perfect. An example is when we kicked in the end it gave a dynamic and sharp movement.

Space - (Controlled-i.e. timing)
The space was not an issue during the performance as the both of us were in the same direction, but only we planned to meet each-other for effect. It was very controlled and we didn't have an issue where we didn't end up accidentally kicking or bumping into each-other, the space was subtle. Furthermore, we visualized how we were going to perform without bumping into each-other because the result of bumping into each-other with mess up our routine.

Relationship - (when it worked - when I felt at each-other)
The relationship during the performance was satisfying. This is because, me and Ada's job was to look at each-other at several occasion. The maximum times we were looking at one another was 2-3 times. To extend my sentence even more, I'm going to talk about how it worked; the both of us maneuvered many sequences, and the elements alongside the teamwork me and Ada put in was what really made our sequence work. In my opinion of this, I actually believe me and Ada had managed to make a success in the lesson, and the sequence that were taught by Dominick.

  1. This is a good account, especially the way you break up your reflection into action, space, dynamics & relationships. Please do this with each piece you work on, in the beginning, the middle and when evaluating at the end.
