There has been much learned this semester with Ballet and Modern from better turns and combinations to better breathing and posture. I have noticed that my strength has increased. Also, I feel that more and more energy has been extending to my fingertips which has been endorsed by Richard and Christina. Being that I will be taking the intensive courses for both Ballet and Modern, I hope to continue with learning correct shift of weight and sustaining of longer balances. There is always a goal of being quick about remembering combinations with both right and left side.
45 minutes of yoga a day has been helping me considerably in feeling more aware in class, so I will continue that. The knowlege learned thusfar from both Ballet and Modern has many applications outside of dance, so I see myself utilizing the skills for any other type of performance art (for me, juggling and unicycling). Dance is a movement art and it involves controlling the body. This idea is luring to me being that much literature I have read states that if one can control the body, the mind will follows. I also get the same type of disiplinary feeling in Ballet as I did in the 4 years of Tae Kwon Do I undertook in my youth. I do not see myself letting go of at least one type of movement art that is done on a fairly regular basis.
