Dance/Yoga #3
Dance/Personal Fitness
Date/time - January 9, 2011, 11 a.m.
Type of class – Dance, Musical Theatre
Difficulty Level - Ummm... Intermediate???
Studio and Instructor (Include Photo) Gold Cup Gymnastics, Jonathan Ragsdale
What did you most enjoy? – I most enjoyed taking a class that directly pertained to this challenge, and also spending time with fellow 30 day challengers. I also enjoyed dancing, because to be honest, I am just god awful at dancing although I'd like to think the opposite. I think it's essential to spend more time at getting better at it.
What did you find challenging and why? – ANYTHING that has to do with ballet is challenging. It's almost laughable.
Observations – I have always noticed that I have a hard time learning choreography in a mirror. It's really hard to figure out left from right in the mirror. It always messes me up and by the time I figure it out, everyone has already moved on to the next eight count. It's minor, and I am getting much better at it. I really had fun today though! So glad I went!

Not the most filling breakfast of all time, but it gave me a lot of energy for the musical theatre class, which was nice!
Daily Practice Session
Technical Concepts - Nice long warm up to recorded Kurt warm up, scales, lip trills, scales, goo goos, yogi bear exercise, baby cries, dopey voice, mixing, middle voice, chest voice, head voice...
Minutes - 35
Repertoire - Sara Barielles, Gravity, Many the Miles and Don Henley The Heart of the Matter
Minutes – 15
Successes – Felt strong today since I got to sing in the afternoon. Hit higher notes during my warm up than I usually do. Felt a lot more fluidity than usual.
Areas for improvement – Lost concentration sometimes on keeping everything loose when singing in head voice.
Notes: Will ask my boss if I can get the time off to sing at the Senior home on Wednesday... I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
