Dress Rehearsal Of The Cinderella Pantomime And Dance Practice

Today we did our first dress rehearsal and we ran through all of The Dances in The Panto. The end of The Dance to 'I Gotta Feeling' has been changed, so it is important that I go through this at home. I made mistakes in all of the dances, so I will run through them during the weekend at least 5 times a day, so that I will be very confident with all of them.

Here is a video of The Dance to 'I Gotta Feeling'. I am definitely more confident with this dance than I was a few weeks ago. My movements are sharper. However I need to make sure that I bend down straight away so that dancers can jump over me. Also, this video demonstrates my improvement in getting into the correct position, as previously today I was not in line with the other dancers.

Here is a video of me dancing to 'Reach'. I have improved since the first time we did it, as it took me a long time to learn the correct choreography. However, i need to go over some of the movements to make sure that they are the same as everyone elses. I also need to work on my timing for this dance. I can watch this video back, so that I can learn the exact movements and timing.

Here is a video of me dancing to 'Let Me Entertain You'. I also need to go over some of these dance moves to make sure that they are the same as the other dancers'. The end of the dance has been changed, so I must remember not to get it confused with the previous ending. In addition, I need to work on my strut at the beginning, as it isn't sharp enough.

Here is a video of me rehearsing the dance to 'You Can't Stop The Beat'. I need to work on my timing for this dance and I also need to make sure that I am doing the correct movement especially the first time we sing 'And if you try to hold me down, I'm gonna spit in your eye and say....', as I am definitely dancing that part incorrectly at the moment, so I will go through it during the weekend.

Then, we did the dress rehearsal of Act One and Act Two of 'The Cinderella Pantomime'. During the first run, I didn't make as many facial expressions as I usually do and I made mistakes with the dances. However, in the second run of Act One I made more facial varied facial expressions. It is important to use the energy that I used in the second run in every run through, so I need to warm up backstage, if that is what is necessary for me to give 100% every time.
