Line Dancing 2

In our second lesson, for the first half of the lesson, we practiced our line dancing steps as a class and then individually when we couldn't do a certain step. We got into pairs and helped each other, most people were stuck on the box steps so sara and rhenee helped us. For the other half of our lesson Mr Chapman told us to go online research our own dance steps that we can all put towards our routine. This was quite fun because we had control over what we could put towards the dance routine.

For the last 20 minutes of the lesson each member of our group, had to come up with 1 move each and then demonstrate it to the rest of the class to see if it would be suitable for the routine and if it fits with our song.
It was fun to have a member of our class take lead and show us there dance moves. Although some of the moves were quite hard, we decided to include most of them in our routine.

Line Dance Evalutation

After we finished our line dancing performance, we looked  at our filmed performances and were told to look at our own performance and evaluated our own performance as well as how well the group did as a whole.
As i watched my self perform i  evaluated how i could make myself better and improve my stage presence. one of the things that could have been improved was that i did not put enough effort into my performance and i did not look too interested whereas line dance is all about having fun and enjoying yourself even though you may look stupid.  To improve my performance i could have exaggerated my moves and smiled more. Also another thing is that i missed some of the steps due to lack of concentration, this may have been because i wasn't confident with my performance and didn't want to draw attention to myself. To improve my concentration, i should practice the dance more and make sure they are perfect so that i gave more confidence in my performance and have fun.
