“Excellence is the unlimited ability to improve the quality of what you have to offer”, a quote once said by Rich Pitino. This quote is completely true, after reviewing my overall performance I spotted that I do have some improving to do. However, I also have some things that I feel that I did pretty well on. In this self-evaluation, I will be thoroughly discussing and elaborating my performance.
As I overlooked the midterm video, I felt like I did well throughout the entire performance. In the tendu sequence, I used my scapular support. Especially when I had to tendu and degage, I made sure that my body was lifted. As I observed myself doing this sequence, I saw that I wasn’t hunched over and my shoulders were squared. In the floor-warm …show more content…
I fell out my coupe and passe. If I would’ve used my corset, I’d probably have better balance. I also had difficulties with licking the floor with my foot. While licking the floor with your feet, it's supposed to be a smooth movement and mines was the exact opposite. Moreover, knowing the difference between a tendu and degage’ threw me off. While doing the back part to the tendu sequence, I did two degage’, instead of doing one tendu and a degage. In the floor-warm up, I had to be more smooth, because I tend to be choppy doing the movement. The floor spin also puzzled me, I fell out of my spin and that caused me to be off at the end. Staying on count was definitely a strain for me, I knew the counts I just had a couple of hiccups here and there. In the cunningham sequence, I need to not stick my butt out. I should’ve used my core support to left my upper-half up. In my opinion, I need to work on my c-curve, because I didn’t feel confident while doing it. Lastly, I didn’t feel like my drop wasn’t sharp enough, I can work on this by just being free and not so controlled in my …show more content…
I remember while I did the Cunningham sequence, Kiah stated how I needed to improve turning my foot out on the spins. Also, I needed to focus on my breathing so I could hit every count and lastly I needed to watch my arms as well. As I watched myself perform the cunningham, I noticed that I corrected all the things she said I needed to improve. Additionally, working with Ryan, he did mention that I needed to work on licking the floor with my foot and I need to work on my force arched kick. I didn’t really improve the technique of licking the floor, my tendu wasn’t as smooth but forced arch kick was sharp. I noticed that receiving criticism from other people really do help you, it help you familiarize yourself with the things you need to work on. From evaluating myself, I definitely have goals by the end of this
