Number 3 Title Practice Plan for Street Dance

Section 1 – Assessment Task Overview and Description

JESSE BOTTOMLEY
Students are required to answer the questions below and create a practice plan for improvement of jazz
dance skills.

1. In your personal practice time - Evaluate your own performance of current street dance class
choreography.
2. Meet with your Jazz teacher and gather feedback on your class work of performing street dance
techniques (at least 2 areas that need improvement) this will be used to assist you to answer the
questions below and to integrate into your plan
3. Answer the questions to gather information to help you set goals for your practice plan
4. Evaluate your responses to the questions to find strategies for your practice plan
5. Develop a personal practice plan for a period of 4 weeks. An exemplar practice plan is included in
your course materials located in Canvas.
6. Submit this document with answered questions and your practice plan (inserted in this document) on
or before the due date in canvas.

Task:

1. You are required to evaluate your own performance of street dance techniques and performance.
What method will you use to do this?

Reflecting on video footage is perhaps the simplest and most accessible way to gauge one's own
performance.
Making recordings of your performances and rehearsing sessions can be a useful self-evaluation
tool. You can review the video afterwards to evaluate your performance abilities, musicality,
expression, and technique. You can use this to pinpoint your technique's weak points and make
necessary improvements.
You can contrast video of the most recent practise with video of earlier performances.

2. What information have you gathered from this self-evaluation that can assist your development in
street dance technique and performance?

Through the use of footage and filming, I can really focus on the detail of technique throughout my
performance. I can then go back and fix what needs to be adjusted. Another area of improvement is
musicality. By using footage I can identify how my body connects to the music and how I am using
the phrasing, rhythm and dynamics of the music to enhance my movement.

3. What feedback have you gathered from your teachers that can help you improve your street dance
technique and performance?

Assessment Task

Number 3 Title Practice Plan for Street Dance

My teachers often are giving me corrections and feedback on my technique and alignment. I have been
told that I need to clean my lines and positions when dancing as they often can become messy. Another
area of improvement needed is my facial expression and the way I connect to the music and
choreography.

4. Explain three safe dance requirements when undertaking your own practice plan or performing
Street dance?
Warm Up – Warming up the body before completing any exercise is vital to injury prevention. By
warming up the muscles, you are preparing the body for physical exercise.
Wearing required clothing and footwear- By wearing the correct attire, you are preventing injuries from
occurring, such as tendonitis and shin splints.
Cooling Down – Cooling down is also vital throughout the performance plan. Cooling down stops the
build-up of lactic acid and allowing the body to return to a resting rate.

5. Based on your findings and the feedback from your teachers, create a practice plan for
improvement:

Ensure you include:


1. Goals
Have specific goals for each of your practice weeks
Make sure the goals are realistic and achievable.

2. Strategies for improvement

3. Safe Dance Practice inclusions (as discussed in class).
