Dance Evaluation

Our music focus this term is Dance. In this DLO we made a evaluation on our dance and added in what worked and what was hard. I think the hardest part of this was that our timing was all different so we really had to get that right and I personally think that making up different dance moves was hard because I wasn't familiar with dancing and it was all new to me. 

Dance Evaluation

Today at dance we had to film ourselves performing our dance. This helped us with looking at it and seeing what we had to work on. We had to work with another group, they also gave us some feedback and feed forward.   My group had to work on our transition and mostly our timing for a few parts because it wasn't in sync with the music.  I think this was a good way to evaluate your steps in dance.

Today in dance we worked on our geometrical dance. We got reminded that we had to be in sync with the music meaning in time and the different types of music that will suit our dance. We had to think about the tempo which is the speed and the beat of the music. It was quite tricky for our group but we managed to get some moves that we made up into a creative way.  To inspire us we watched a video that could give us some ideas of what to do. We compared and contrasting with two different genres such as ballet music and rock music.

Today in dance we had to focus on the different movements we can make with our bodies. We also were working on our personal warm ups to warm up the class. I worked collaboratively with Nazella and worked on our different angles. Our first shape was a square then transformed into a triangle then into a perfect circle. 

Music - Dance

Our first dance lesson was based on warm up's.  If you don't know what a warm up it basically loosens joints and increases blood flow through out your muscles  and preparing your for your physical exercise. In my group (Mishaan and Nazella) we had to make up our own warm up routine with a song, using stretches. To use our smart searching skills we used the internet to find some stretches we feel comfortable with.   We then shared it with other groups and they gave us some useful feedback that we could do next time. I think this was really fun and I hope we get to share our learning with others. 

Music Dance

For the last week we have been doing dance. Since our topic is "Science" we tried to relate to it in our dance. For this dance I was partners with Fifita. This dance was about a fire starting then going away as the end. I really enjoyed this because I'm not a dancer and it made me a bit more confident.
