Today, during our dance lesson, we covered basic dance technique. We started with 'corner work', which I struggled with. However, I found that I could more easily pick up the simpler routines, than in previous lessons. We were reminded of the positions in ballet and we took part in ballet exercises. From this, I have learnt that I struggle a lot with my balance. I can improve this by spending some of my free time balancing on one leg, while engaging the stomach muscles and focusing on a point in the room. Here is a video of the positions in ballet:

Later we had a singing lesson. I found that Today's warm up went the smoothest, since the beginning of this year. I found it easier to hit the higher notes without 'cracking'. I also remembered that the more I project, the better control I have over my voice. We also sung 'At The End Of The Day' from Les Miserables The Musical. We were asked to 'perform' the song, but I found that not knowing the words hindered my performance, and I felt that I should have moved around a lot more. Therefore I am setting myself the task of moving around in character more when singing a song that requires characterisation.
