An update on my Dance Goals for 2019.

For Ballet:

• Still todo – pirouette on pointes!
• Practise balance
• Clean up my technique for passé, piqué arabesque, piqué attitude, sous-sous
• Practise turns: soutenu, chainé, piqué (without and with pointes), pirouettes (double without pointes, single with pointes) and fouettés (without pointe)
• Work on strengthening my ankles and feet (and film my routine, eventually)
• Practice épaulement, be more conscious of my arms, and relax my hands (especially during barre work)
• Practise pointe basics (at home, for strength and flexibility) 1-2 times a week
• Practise recital choreos 2-3 times a week
• Get to class (and pointe class) 2-3 times a week
• Get to group rehearsals 4 times a month (for now, more frequently  starting Q3)
• Keep working on strength and flexibility for turnout, extensions and cambrés
• Plan a ballet Photo Shoot

For Bellydance:

• Continue regular home practise
• Plan a new WS day in Würselen this summer
• Share preview video for the ‘Slow and Smooth’ online class/ DVD
• Brainstorm/meditate on the next Online Class/DVD recording
• Work on performances and workshops for upcoming spring/summer Events
