For those of you who didn't catch a glimpse of my posts in several scattered threads, I presented a choreography yesterday at my studio's party. It was not because of some event (Christmas, New Year's and Mardi Gras parties, for instance, are the most typical choreography dates) but because we didn't get to do a choreography at a schedhuled choreography event and a dance friend of mine came from England for just a month and she really wanted to see me present a choreography. We did a Mambo/Salsa mix on "Ran Kan Kan". Since it was an extra (not schedhuled) we only spent 5-6 hours on it, and that includes actually making the choreography together.
It went off without a hitch, really. I remembered it all, my teacher (who was really sick for days and was throwing up the morning of the choreography day) was great, though very pale. Everyone was congratulating me afterwards, saying I looked like I was having one hell of a time, which I wasn't really. :lol: I was nervous and I changed one thousand facial expressions (I have very intense facial expressions, (un?)fortunately) during the whole thing. My best mate (male), who is pretty much the hardest judge you'd find, said that he thought I was incredible. Though he said it with many expletives.
My technique sucked, really, because the piece was so fast, I was on 3" inch heels I have been wearing for just 3 weeks and admittedly we worked very little on the piece (6 hours is nothing, as you can all see, considering a large part of those hours was figuring out what to do next). I caught a glimpse of the video while still in the camera (I'll have it in DVD in a few days, hopefully) and I hated myself, my technique really sucked, I didn't like me at all and I looked 5 pounds fatter! Guess what they say about seeing yourself dancing on camera is right after all.
So. Um. That's it. I still haven't broken it down, my teacher and i haven't met since yesterday and I'm not really sure if I should categorise it as a good or bad choreography. For me, in any case.
