Guest Teacher
On March 21, 2012 we had a guest teacher, Jill. I enjoyed the experience of having a guest teacher because it was good to see other styles and techniques. She was very outgoing and helpful. I also enjoyed her warm up because I feel like i was fully warmed up after, and it focused on most of the body. Her teaching style was very good and I got a lot out of the class. I also appreciated her her corrections, and i will definitely use them in the future. Overall I felt like I got a lot out of the class.

Youtube video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VhxpHgPTy
Entrechat is known the interweaving or braiding step. It is done by the dancer jumping and rapidly crossing their legs in front and behind each other. The beats can range from two to ten and each one has its own name. In the video the dancer does a entrechat duex with two beats, a entrechat quatre with four beats and entrechat six with six beats. In order to be able to to that many beats it is important that you start off with a plie in order to get as much height in the jump as possible. The higher the jump the more beats. This video shows how much technique has evolved over the years. While in history it was rare for someone to be able to do six or more beats this video shows the dancer easily doing six beats. Websites like youtube are very useful of dancers to see how moves are suppose to be done and what other dancers are learning.
