Ballet Lecture
Showed power point which basically just has the answers to the test written on it, I then showed my youtube play list http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=363358AE2A28DAEF
Basically highlighting the evolution from folk dance, to court dance to professional dance, looking at how the body, and specifically the highly skilled body, comes more and more to the forefront, often distancing the art from the audience. I finish with LaLaLa Human Steps to try to indicate that ballet doesn't just belong to the past, but is still used to make important statements today.
Ballet on Tuesday
Normal plies
Tendus and Degages were the same set up three in each direction plie on 4, en croix 2x's except the last seconde was use to go to the other side.
Introduced ronde de jambe just 4 in and 4 out very slow
Leg swings with couple and pas de bouree
Jump prep at the barre
Then my every kind of jump exercise:
2 feet to 2 feet
2 feet to 1 foot
1 foot to 1 foot
1 foot to the same foot
1 foot to 2 feet.
That is it, have fun. 4 weeks left bitches.
