Lesson 1- Choosing and starting repetoire

As I wasn't in the first lesson of choosing repertoire (due to being in an exam), my group, Sarah, Claudia and Anais had started to look at some different songs and getting some ideas together but they wanted my opinion as well as it is a group decision. Claudia also wasn't there on Monday for the first lesson it made it difficult for the other girls to look at songs.

Today, we was all together, Sarah, Claudia, Anais and myself. Sarah and Anais showed us a coupe of songs that they had though of. The first song was "Work it out" from High School Musical. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV50hD2thAc). The second song we looed at was "Good Morning Baltimore" from Hairspray. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLaM1d383eg). We sat and discussed both of them and we had pros an cons  for both songs.

Work it out-

The pros for work it out was that it was really upbeat and we all enjoyed listening to it and we thought we could learn the choreography and we could make it looked good.

The con for work it out was that in the film there is a lot of cast and  with a lot of cast it looks really effective as it looks busy but still really sharp and there is only 4 of us which would make it difficult for us to make it look as good.

Good Morning Baltimore-

The pros for G.M.B was that it was something different and we all knew most of the words to the song so that means we can work more on choreography than learning the words.

The con for G.M.B was that we think we could get bored of it quickly as we would be listening to it a lot but then we though that could happen with any song that we pick.

After looking at both of these songs for sometime we looked at a couple of other songs such as "Slipping through my fingers" from Mamma Mia! We all really liked this song but thought we should do more of an upbeat song so we can have more dance in it as well.

After this, we all finally came to a decision that we would start working on "Good Morning Baltimore" and if we didn't like what we was doing with it after starting to work on it then we would change it.
For the last 20 minutes of the lesson, we began to look at different choreography options and how we would start. We decided we would all start on blocks and do big arm movements a facial expressions.
Next lesson we have said that we want to do more choreography and set who is going to sing what section.
