jazz workshops

over the past two weeks we have been working on our choreography and learning are jazz workshops. we learnt street jazz, lyrical jazz and rock 'n' roll jazz. I helped choreographer the rock 'n' roll routine. In my group there is Chloe, Shauna, Louise, Elle and me. We had to make up a dance that lasted one minute.Chloe, Louise and I do rock 'n' roll dance so we new what to do more then the others. Louise only new a little bit so me and Chloe took charge.

we started of by thinking of some rock 'n' roll moves and what music they ll go to. The music we choose was 'candy man'  by Christine Agulera. we didn't want to make the moves to hard because the people that haven't done it before wouldn't of picked it up. the dance started simple. all thought it was very hard it looked good if you did it with good technique. gradually we added more and more to our dance. we spent a lot of time practising it because we new we had to teach it to the class. our dance was exactly one minuet.

all of us new our dance well. when we were teaching we split it into five section.i tought the fourth section. i was nervouse because i have never tought a dance a group of people. i think i did ok! i thougt it the best I could. i did step b step most of the time and i was proud of my work.

if I was to teach agian I would slow it son slightly and make sure i did step by step through the whole section.

  1. Well done Laura Anne, can you talk me through the section you taught and explain how you did it?

  2. I taught the fourth section. well i would think the move through in my head then do it step by step to the class until they could do it.then we would do it with the music and add it on the the beggining of the dance. sometimes i dance the move to the class firsst so they could see how it looked.
