End of Semester Ballet Video Thoughts

Barre:

Seeing this video, I have certainly seen many things that I have improved on, but I however have seen a lot more of what I need to work on. It appears that bringing into awareness any mistakes is the first battle in being able to apply the correction. At the beginning of the barre, I did notice that though the majority of time I appear to have a good tucked tailbone, at the very last minute coming down, sometimes it doesn't hold. So, the correction I can make to this is actually to feel as if the tailbone has been in its same position even seemingly past the limit I can make it go to. This would also keep the energy in better flow.

There is also something I am trying to figure out how to round even more when it comes to the cambre. I could manage having a better rounding and fluidity to it. I sometimes feel it may be my body structure and muscles themselves perhaps making it a little more difficult to pull it off the way I want it to be.

I noticed in various of the barre exercises, that I could do a better job at stationing my pelvis. This was especially seen while doing rond de jambes. The rond de jambes en l'aire could appear to have even more extension, event though I feel I do have extension. It is likely the pelvis and not going beyond the energy of the foot enough or video tricks.

Center & Across the Floor

Putting developing a quicker on-the-spot memory to the side (as it's always a goal),  I could definitely finish movements better. Though I am using a little bit more arms, I have a lot of work to give them more clear positions. I will have to do isolated moves on my own to get a gracefulness of them and the feeling of the sustained time of each particular movement. Then feeling the connection between them. The connection is so very important like the importance of forming a gramatically correct sentence instead of having each word in the sentence spelled correctly.
