January 31, 2011

Monday, January 31, was the beginning of the Student Choreography show week. We had Stuart. Before the seniors could change, we had to run an errand with Ms. Mack. Once we got back, we changed and discussed the Mason Gross audition that I had that Saturday before. Before 5th period ended, we began to learn choreography and it started with Hana teaching us a phrase that they learned in the morning. Once the freshmen arrived, we taught them the phrase and learned an additional phrase. We got into pairs and either did them in the order of 1 2 or 2 1. We split up so that all of the girls that were doing the 1 2 order were in the same group and the girls that were doing the 2 1 order were in the same group and we went over the entire phrase slowly making sure that everybody understood. When we all regrouped, we did the entire phrase together a lot of times.

Once Stuart left 8th period, whoever stays 8th worked on their solos or duets. Ms. Mack helped me edit my music for my solo on Garageband, which I should really learn how to use. I ended up reviewing my solo for the rest of the time. The senior piece still had a lot to be done, but with Shalima in and out and Ashlei leaving early every Monday and Thursday, it was hard to work.
