Strengths and weaknesses A strength of mine this week is being open with Vicky and she really helped me see sense again. She told me things I needed to hear and which made me feel better about myself and made me find what I had been missing and that was the reason why I love to dance. For the rest of the week I wasn't down about dance I was excited and wanted to learn and was enjoying myself again which I hadn't felt in a while. In body con I didn't give up I kept going and wanted to better myself. Another strength of mine this week is being trustworthy. I am using other partners and letting them chuck me about with lifts that could be dangerous but I trust them and I know if I don't feel safe we won't do it and if I do fall I know I can either catch myself or my partner will catch me. A strength of mine this week was also in the opening. I was really listening to what they wanted an I felt like was applying it. They wanted strong arms , performance and attack I felt like I was really doing this. A weakness of mine this week , is missing out on more choreography as I wasn't feeling well so I've missed an opportunity to be in a dance as I missed the audition I'm also now behind on choreography as was un well . A weakness of mine is not being able to do a show run yet, I haven't done one for about 4 weeks. I'm very scared for this show I don't really know what I'm doing an it's scaring me I really wanna start working the dances so I know what I am doing otherwise I'm gonna be in a bad position with it comes to show as I'm not going to be able to perform as I'm not confident. Another weakness of mine is in choreography not performing it throughout. Where I'm not completely confident on choreography I'm to much thinking about what moves are next. I feel this way because everything is just being rushed and it's not very clear.

Monday morning we had Sarah and ballet doing the usual technique and ballet stuff doing the same exercises. In ballet Charlotte is working on our adage as that's what we need to improve on she doesn't want us to be boring she wants us to perform , her aim is to get us dancing ballet. In the afternoon we had body con an I was proud of myself I started pushing myself and I didn't give up, in body con it was a bit embarrassing you could she Charlotte and Jay competing against eachother and they was both really going out of time to see who could do it faster. I think Charlotte as a teacher always has to say that she is better than us and always talks about herself. we then finished of hound dog and did 2 new sections and a lift section, Archie is my partner and he has got so much better I remember when we was in first year and he couldn't lift and now he has come on so much an he can lift me easy and I trust him which is good. Me and Archie actually got on very well and we was having fun at the same time an that's nice to have that when working with a boy partner because sometimes some people can become a bit awkward. Tuesday we learnt a dance to purple rain that could potentially go into the show . I'm a little bit worried about the show as we haven't really done a lot in the numbers we have just started loads and we don't know who's in what. An where I've missed a few days I don't really know what I am in. I really enjoyed this dance , I felt like I was understanding what Sarah wanted and I got the timing, when I dance I try to make sure I really listen to choreographers and what they are asking of us. I then had ballet and it was the same as Monday we worked on our turns to 2nd an they are slowly getting a bit better but I need to keep my spot and not change it and using my arms will help. Tuesday afternoon we spent ages doing I feel love and it came on so much and placed it all together and I think that's the one number that looks like a dance number at this moment in time. I'm excited to be apart of a lift as in helping someone I'm usually being lifted and it's quite scary being a lifter as you have to make sure they are safe an that you have them. Wednesday morning we did on the radio and it really shocked me , the number went from being a number I wasn't excited about to being really excited! I feel like I'm in a proper girl group like in legally blonde. It's a really fun sassy number. We have a jacket on an get to use the jacket and dance with them kind of as our prop, we got a lot done in this and it looks like it could be a strong number which is exciting as I didn't expect it. In the afternoon we did an hour of sinneman we didn't do a lot but there was a lot of movements in a count of eight and it was really confusing to your brain so it took us a while to do it and do it with the correct counts. After I had zosh doing feeling good doing lift work and me an jurek did a lift and even he has got so much stronger and I felt safe with him and trusted him at the start of 1st year I never could have been lifted by him the only person I trusted was jay. Thursday all day we did the opening and it was hard , we changed it and changed it loads of times but by the end of the day we had it how they wanted it and it looked like a strong opening. Lindsey was being very strict with us but that was good as it pushed me an made me want to work harder. The 1st year section look very strong it made me want to up my game as of course I want to look better than them and it's our show as its our last show. By the end of the day my brain was going into overload an I was getting confused with my counts where I was trying to hard it wasn't happening for me.
