evaluation of final jazz performance






One main skill I feel I executed confidently and effectively in the final performance is my flexibility, this is purely because whilst doing the click sequence with the rhythm of 1,2,3,4 and 1,2,3,4 I was demonstrating this skill correctly and had the correct coordination and rhythm in my hands. In these two pictures you can see how I flexed my hand in the first picture my hand are tucked in and on the second picture my hand are flexed out whilst clicking.

Area for development-

One physical skill which I feel that I need to develop in my final jazz performance is my balance, I feel the section I need to improve this physical skill is on the word “moon” this is mainly because whilst I lean towards my left  side and fan my right leg over to the right my balance was a little wobbly and I couldn’t manage to maintain my posture throughout the movement. 
This is a clear example (image) of the movement I would like to improve-

One exercise that can majorly help improve your balance and stability is standing with your weight on one leg and raising the other leg to the side behind you.


Successful features of jazz technique 9th December 2021

 

One feature I feel I executed confidently and effectively in the final performance is my ability to use character and expression in my face and body , the reason I feel this was executed correctly was because throughout the performance I kept a very sensual and flirty face whilst moving around. I know this personally as during the peer feedback my peers mentioned this and I could see for myself whilst watching the video back.

This picture shows a demonstration of how I used my character effectively-



Area for development-developing features of jazz technique

One feature of jazz technique I feel I need to develop in my final performance is my isolations of body parts. Isolations is one thing I really struggled with in the final performance as its not really something you do on the daily basis it takes practise to move you body in a way your used to. In the jazz sequence there are two isolations one in the chest and one in the hips I struggled with the one in the chest the most.

This is an example of where I struggled with the isolation-
