Jazz / Lyrical Dance Evaluation

Jazz / Lyrical Dance Evaluation

Identify the strengths my peer has given me in:

Stylistic quality - Me and Grace weren't meant to have our duet be mirrored because our piece was meant to have us looking like a struggling couple and the way we both portrayed that was perfect and I was presented as very strong in this piece.

Physical skills - I had great physical skills as I had to lift Grace and pull her through the air and catch her, it was very strong and I was very confident with it. As the weeks grew on you could see the confidence and the strength in the legs get much better which is always a positive and a good sign that it's less likely I would drop Grace.

Expressive skills - My facial expressions were strong in my part of the dances, especially my duet with Grace and towards the end when I reach out to the audience, I was very focused with the audience and made it feel like I'm one with them. 

Musicality - I was able to move to the beats of the music when in my duet with Grace to bring more tension and accuracy to the dance.

Identify areas for development that my peer has given me in:

Stylistic quality - 

Physical skills - I needed to make sure to keep my stamina up throughout the whole dance as I had never been in a dance like this before and I was in the majority of it.

Expressive skills - I needed to make sure my facial expressions are consistent throughout the whole dance, not just when I'm in my duet with Grace to show consistency.
