Day 6 of Bollywood dancing

In this lesson we have completed doing this routine and ready to perform next lesson. We just rehearsed for the whole lesson non-stop, this was a very tiring lesson and everyone did well.

What we did exactly.

Everyone in the class came into ms2 and sat down. For 5 minutes of the lesson we discussed what we were going to do in this lesson. We discussed for the rest of the lesson we are going to rehearse the routine because we already knew it and we said this is our last lesson till we are going to perform it. So for the rest of the lesson we just kept dancing.

How this lesson has helped.

This lesson has helped me because I now knew the routine better. I believe I can do brilliant on the performance. It has boosted my confidence a lot to dance. I am now definitely ready to perform this routine in front of camera.

Day 5 of bollywood dancing

Day 5 of Bollywood dancing

In this lesson we just got help from Mrs Eyres to help us choreograph our routine because we already knew the routine and we wanted to make it better. We worked on how we got onto stage and the timing on it.

What we did exactly?

Everyone in the class came into room 24 and cleared out the tables and chairs so we have room to dance, this took us 10 minutes of the lesson already. For the next 15 minutes of the lesson we rehearsed the routine and it was perfect but we needed to make it look better with a good starting point and a terrific finish so we got Mrs Eyres to help us. Mrs Eyres came in and told who is coming in when and the position you are going to be on stage. She told us to start of coming on stage by “walking with attitude”. She also told us how we are going to end the routine with an amazing pose done by everyone and it turned out terrific. For the last 10 minutes of the lesson we rehearsed what we were taught and it turned out to be amazing. After doing that lesson, the class is now very confident on performing this already.

How this lesson helped us?

This lesson has helped us with the timing, how to make an amazing entrance and to finish of with a terrific finish, all thanks to Mrs Eyres. It has made the class even more confident to perform now.

What we did exactly in this lesson?

We all came into room 24 in media and cleared all the tables so we had space to dance. This took us 10 minutes to do and we only had 50 minutes of the lesson left. We already knew the first half of the routine perfectly and we had a good idea on what we are going to do in the second half. So we we worked on the second half for 30 minutes and got it perfectly. We were amazed how we got it perfectly that quick. For the rest of the lesson we tried to put both half of the routine together to make a full routine. The bell rang and it was the end of the lesson.

This lesson helped me and the class a lot because we now know the whole routine, we may not know it perfectly but we have a good idea. I am now feeling more confident with my line dancing performance

In this lesson we now knew half the routine. Now we needed to think and practice the other half of the routine. We were in ms2 with miss Hainstock, miss thought of a new good move she found and taught it to us. We learnt this move and tried to get it perfect.

Day 3 of line dancing


Day 3 of Line dancing

In this lesson were in ms2 researching a Line dance from the internet to add to our routine. My move was from the video of electric boogie. This was a good lesson and a lot of work was accomplished.

What we did exactly?

In the first 5 minutes of the lesson we came in and sat down talking on what we are going to do in the lesson. We discussed that we were going to research a dance move and show it to the class. So for 40 minutes of the lesson, I and Jaydeep searched on you tube for a line dance move so we can show the class. We found a popular dance move called the electric boogie. We watched and practiced the dance steps. There was 15 minutes of the lesson now so everyone had to show what they researched to the class.

This lesson involved a lot of research and independent work. I believe that I have done well on both researching and practical in this lesson.

Day 1 of bollywood dancing


Day one of Bollywood dancing

Our fist day of Bollywood dancing was brilliant. It was exciting and a new experience to me. For this first lesson we learnt a dance routine shown to us by miss Hainstock, our dance teacher. We watched a video from the Internet that taught us a dance routine, we danced to the song Jai Ho. Overall I was very happy we are doing this unit.

What did we do exactly on this lesson?
This was our first lesson of dancing so the whole and me class where pretty nervous. For this dancing lesson we went to room 24 in media to do dancing. Our dance teachers for this lesson were a student from Beal sixth form and miss Hainstock. The student took over for the first half of the lesson; she taught us some basic dance moves to get us warmed up. Everyone in the class got over there shyness and actually gave good dancing performance. After 20 minutes has gone, our student dance teacher had to leave meaning that miss Hainstock had to be our dance teacher for the rest of the lesson. With miss Hainstock, we learnt different dance moves. Miss found a good dancing video from the Internet. We learnt the dance moves and got the routine done. Miss Hainstock was very pleased with our dancing performance. We have completed the dance moves perfectly that miss Hainstock told the other media teachers to see our dance routine. After we showed the media teachers our dance routine, we made the teachers dance. We then became the teachers, the class, and taught the teachers the dance routine. After we taught them the dance moves, they then performed it to us. After a hard day of work, the bell rang and it was the end of the lesson.

This lesson was absolutely brilliant. I have learnt a lot this lesson; I can finally think that I am a good Bollywood dancer. This lesson was even more fun that we were with our friends.
