| Week of May 18, 2008 The process for my choreography for my dance to "Reel Around the Sun" is coming along pretty well. I am about half way through the dance. In the beginning, I got kind of frustrated because I had trouble thinking of a way to start the dance. The song starts out slow so I had to think of slow counts of eights to start. I ended up thinking of steps that went well with the music. Then, as the music picked up, I had trouble fitting combinations with the very fast paced part of the song. It took me a while, but I finally thought of steps that fit well with the beat. I am pretty proud of what I have come up with so far and am anxious to see how the whole thing turns out. |
| Week of May 25, 2008 The choreography for my dance is coming along well, and I only have about twenty or thirty seconds left to make up. I am not having very much trouble with this dance anymore. I was in the beginning because I haven't done Irish dancing in a while. But now, it is pretty easy. I am only having trouble with one part. There are not many beat/music changes in this song. For one of the music changes, I am having trouble thinking of what step to put there. I can not really think of a step that fits well. I am getting frustrated. I am proud that I have created a whole dance on my own and that I will be performing it. I have never choreographed my own dance before and I can't wait to see how it turns out when I'm finally done. |
| Week of June 1, 2008 I am really happy with how my presentation of the dance turned out. Everyone seemed to like it and I didn't slip like I was afraid I was going to. I didn't mess up at all. But I think that I could have smiled more. Sometimes, I stopped smiling because I was worried about slipping on the floor. All of my steps flowed well and I stayed with the music. Overall, I am very happy with how it turned out. |
