Chicago- Lesson 8

Chicago- Lesson 8

Unfortunately, I had missed the last two lessons due to a dance exam and being ill which made me feel like I had missed quite a bit. Luckily, the girls in my class let me know what they had done in the two lessons so that I could catch up and learn what I had missed. In the first lesson that I missed, the blocked out entrances and exits but again the girls told me where I was going on and off which is very helpful. In the second lesson which I missed they ran through the songs with backing tracks so that people could make sure they knew the lyrics well. I feel like I know most of the lyrics to the songs well I just need to go over them in my own time to make sure I am fully confident.

In today’s lesson, firstly we ran through “All That Jazz” which we had finished learning the choreography to a couple of lessons ago which means we had to make sure that we had remembered it. Overall, most of us remember the choreography well and the positions which we move to throughout the dance. One section we all struggle with is the acting scene in the middle of it as it has not been set yet and it makes it hard for us to learn when to come in with the dance when this section is uncertain.

After this, the girls who are in “Cell Block Tango” ran through the dance. Before the lesson started we met with Bryony so that we could finish learning the choreography which we needed to do. Unfortunately, some girls did not turn up which made it difficult to learn but we still done it as we were running out of time. In the lesson, all of us girls were here so the girls that come before the lesson taught what we had learnt to the other girls. This was quick which we were hap about so that we could learn more. We finished learning the choreography to a basic level we just need to rehearse this song a lot.
