21st October

In todays lesson, Korneilia presented the warm up, ready to start learning Tango. Today we recapped on Tango that we had performed last week. However I developed my Technique through tango, We was put into partners to perform the 8 steps. I throught from learning this step as well as Tango as a whole I have picked up the movement and technique fast. I do not struggle to perform the dance, alot of the movement is performed from the control of your core. You need to hold up yourself with an adjust lift from the heels to present yourself upright and high.

When learning the 8 step we was put into groups, I was in the girls side, this is were we learnt the 8 step, I felt that I picked up the movement fast and due to this my self- esteem was positive and I wanted to learn more. I was told about character shoes, and this will help on developing the movements more positive due to not wearing trainers, it will look much more elegant and with alot more Force and sharpness.

Once learning the 8 step, we went into partners, this was performed continously, this was good due to it being drilled and staying in my head better with the correct counts.

Strengths and weaknesses of Tango ;

I remembered the previous sequence of Tango movement so I could interpret the movement into the new sequence

I felt im getting more confident with learning new styles and getting a good pisitive self - esteem and motivation.

I worked efficiently with my Partner and we got the steps and control correct.

Weaknesses; I have still got alot of technique to learn, yet I need to remember to stand up straight with an excellent posture making sure that I engage the core. 


I had 40 minutes to start developing my Solo alot more. During my own time I started to draw up a structure of how I was going to begin aswell as the different styles I was going to engage into the dance. I felt by presenting this it helped me alot today as I was not wasteing any time, I could straight away start my choreography, and movements that I had already thought of to see if they go. I have the first 20 seconds of my dance solo, yet I am developing alot of this in my own time, and not knowing how close the deadline is, during the holidays I want to be able to finish my Solo, so when I come back during lesson time, I can perfect and drill my solo,k making sure it is at a High standard ready to perform in November.
