In this evaluation I am going to evaluate my pieces and then
the show as a whole.
The first piece was group contemporary. I think we performed
fairly well, I thought our spacing was off at some points but as a whole for
our opening dance I thought we did well, I think the audience understood the
story line and it was an interesting piece to open the show with. Going onto
the Jazz trio from what I know me and Millie did (as she was dancing right next
to me) we danced in unison and kept with each other through the whole piece, we
knew what we was doing, although one part on the floor I bent my leg when I wasn’t
supposed to but hopefully it wasn’t too obvious, overall I am pleased with our performance.
After this was our acting piece, I thought this went very well, we all remembered
our lines and where we were supposed to be, we all stayed in character
throughout, I think our ending could be a lot stronger but am still pleased
with how it went. After acting I had a very qu8ick change before ballet, I struggled
with this as it was a full costume change without much time at all, once ready
and on stage I thought that it wasn’t the best time we had performed that routine,
especially for me it wasn’t the strongest time I feel as if my legs weren’t high
enough (partly due to my tights not being on fully) and sometimes I’m not sure
if I was constantly turned out. The audience so far have been quite quiet and
not very responsive. Next was the street piece, for only fully learning the
routine the day before I think I done fairly well, as a whole I think our group
was a lot stronger than last year’s street group so am happy with our progress.
Closing the 1st half was Candy Store, I think this was the best
group piece in the whole show, it went very well, adrenaline kicked in on my speaking
part at the beginning and I think I done that part well and had positive feedback
from Kelly after for my speaking part. The dance was very energetic all the way
through and we got the biggest reaction from the audience for it. In the second
half my first dance was my ballet solo, I didn’t feel very confident in my
costume and I’m not very confident with ballet in general, I don’t think I performed
this to my best potential and was quite disappointed in myself. My ballet shoe
also started coming off half way through which was very off putting. Next was
my Dirty Diana solo this was a very quick change as I only had one dance in-between
mine, once ready and onstage I relaxed a bit more, I thought my solo went ok I thought
my turns could have been a lot better, one thing that I thought was alright was
my facial expressions I thought I held good facial expressions throughout. Next
was modern and I had a quick change in the wings this was very stressful, once
ready and on modern went well I thought, it was a very chilled out dance which I
thought we needed as it feels like it had been full on constantly. Commercial was
next, I thought the beginning of this was a lot cleaner then the rest of the
routine, I still think we all performed this piece well, I was a bit unsure on
the timing towards the end but felt like I covered it fairly well. After was tap, tap was lovely to perform,
al6though I did pause at the wrong point but picked it right back up when I realised.
Apart from that I thought we all looked very relaxed and enjoyed performing the
tap piece. The final piece was the fan dance, again this was a very nice relaxed
dance, it was enjoyable to perform and it seemed like the audience enjoyed it judging
by the reaction we received when finished! The bows were very fun the audience
were getting involved clapping along, it was an enjoyable ending.
Overall I thought this show case was a lot more successful then
our last, I think we all showed ourselves off, showed our progression and I particularly
enjoyed every minute of it. The audience gave positive feedback after the show
which was lovely to hear And a massive confidence boost! I look forward to next
year and more showcases to come.
