Performing Arts Lesson One - Line Dancing
After our class had completed our Bollywood section of our performing arts unit, we started our Line Dancing unit where we formed lines and danced as a group all doing the same dance routine as each other.
On our introduction lesson we were all confused with what to do. So for our first lesson we had to research some line dancing on youtube and then present what we learned so that we all had an idea of what line dancing really was. Once we all became familiar with Line dancing we showed the class and everyone learned them and we started practicing it in lines.
After this, we learned some of the moves names such as the Grape vine, we all practised it and then kept it as the first move in our routine. Then we looked at more moved on youtube, which we then started to gradually add in our new routine.

Bollywood Lesson 6
On this lesson we had performed the overall dance routine.
we all brought in fancy Indian scarfs and then we wrapped it around us, over our black trousers and black tops.
Then miss recorded our final piece where we all stood in our positions and then completed the dance routine in front of the camera. We did the dance routine in time with our music and we all had remembered our moves and put a lot of emphasis in our routine. once that was completed miss stopped the music and then we finished off with our last pose, getting into our final positions and finished the song.
After that our Bollywood unit had finished.

Bollywood lesson 5
once everyone knew what they were doing, our routine was still out of time and not done properly.
when we showed miss Eyres our dance, she had made constructive criticisms towards our effort and overall routine.
though we all knew our moves, miss made us practice the whole lesson and stop and start again every time someone had made a mistake. her and miss Hainstock had watched and made us jump around more and put more effort in the move that we were doing.
when they were pleased with the result of the dance in the end, they planned a dress rehearsal for the actual Bollywood dance routine.
Bollywood lesson 4
on the next lesson we still continued to practice and then we performed what we had of one of the teachers who then decided that we needed better positions.
so Miss Hainstock had placed us in positions and then we performed it in those positions. the first time it didnt look that good so miss had changed us around in a few different positions, once we found a good starting positions and places inbetween miss was satisfied.
as we performed it again, during the routine miss would change us around so that while performing we would change positions to make it look fun and so it didnt look boring.
then we had got all of our places and kept on practicing until we knew where we were standing and what moves we were doing.

Bollywood lesson 3
on our third performance we all had to get in groups and come up with our own moves and then present what we had. my group was Rajan, Rashna, Sanita and the other group was Imma, Aaron, Jaydeep, Adrianna, Aditi and Malik.
we came up with our first move and kept practicing it and then we had to perform it and once both groups had presented their dance routine, Miss Hainstock had chosen some of the moves from both groups and had put it in the whole group routine.
once we had the nearly finished routine we continued to practice so that we remembered the moves.

Bollywood lesson 2
on our next lesson of completing our Bollywood dance routine, we tried out different movements to see what moves fit the song 'JAI HO'. As we tried out some movements mixed from the internet and our teachers, we fit the moves with the song and came out with the first real steps of our bollywood dance routine.
when we had our starter moves we practiced it over and over again in order for us to remember our routine. then our teacher decided our starter positions and then we went over the routine we had again.
