Room Creativity

(1) How do you plan to address the room creativity expectation?
I'm planning to have the room look like a studio. For example: mirrors, pictures of ballerina's, pointe shoes, costumes, leotards, skirts, maybe a bar if i could find one.
(2) What activity ideas do you have for answer 1 or 2?
For answer 1: The beginning of bar work for training, maybe learn a routine for practicing.
For answer 2: Have scenario's asking which one would have the best chance according to their body, a game to guess what the perfect ballerina should have. I'm still thinking of other ideas.

Answer 2

In order to perfect the role of a ballerina, you must have the appropriate body weight so that weight isn’t what is stopping you while dancing.

Evidence: #25 and #57 show Natalie Portman’s diet while training to be a ballerina. #51 and #52 both tell me the ideal body weight of a ballerina. #50 tells the perfect body of a ballerina. Basically you need to have this perfect body weight/body type so that you could dance perfectly.

The Product

My product: I have improved in my dancing. I believe just from last year that I have actually improved a lot. This year for my studio’s March recital, I was the lead role in our ballet. I also believe that my research helped me become a better dancer. I have learned many other ballerina’s experiences and I have improved from them. I have applied what I learned from my research to my dance skills. Regardless of my injuries, I believe that my legs and ankles have also become stronger; therefore helping improve my dance skills on pointe shoes. I have also learned from my research that facial expressions are an important qualification for performing on stage; which made me apply it to my performance.
As of right now, my recital has recently passed and I haven’t gotten the video that I ordered from my studio. I will just post up an already used photo for this blog because I do not have a video to post.
