My Dance Solo

I never had choreographed anything before, so this was quite a challenge for me. But I enjoyed the overall experience. I think my music fit my poem, because there was a lot of rhythm changes and changes in volume. My costume didn't really fit my dance because I wore a loose tank top and black pants. There was no real connection to my piece. I think I could have danced a bit more full out and put more emotion into my choreography. I didn't like the look of the ending when I watched the video.I would definitely go back and change the choreography if I could do it again. I just thought it didn't flow. But I liked how the beginning looked. I think I was rushing a little bit, and should have really slowed down. At the end I should have released more. I also think that some of my choreography was too much of the Ballet style, and not enough modern. I hope that the idea that I was upset at the beginning but trying to let go of my past, was clear throughout the piece. At some points I could have pointed my toes more and extended my arms further. Maybe I could have done more changes in levels and facings. I think overall I should just let go more and not rush.
Jill's Solo:
I thought that my partner's dance had some really nice choreography. She really did a good job changing levels, and went to the floor a lot. She did a good job changing facings also. I liked how in the beginning she started on the floor and how at the end she was on the floor. It really connected the dance together. Maybe she could of had more changes in strength of the movement, because most of what I remember was slow/soft. At some points she could have pointed her toes more. I think she could have released more when she did her release. I liked the music and thought it connected to the dance, and the costume was simple but good. But I absolutely loved the whole concept of the dance and the choice of poem and choreography.
