Induction to Into The Woods Dance
We started to learn the dance for the end of scene 1. We started by warming up with some movements that involved moving forward at the same time to work on not just dancing on the spot. We then started by learning the first part of the dance. This was stepping back on the left foot and bring the right foot backwards and then a large step forward whilst also doing a similar movement with both arms. Then stepping forward on tip toes and then back again, at the same time as circling with the right shoulder mirroring the movement of the right foot. I struggled with adding the shoulder in so I worked on getting my feet right before worrying about the arms but by the end of the lesson I had managed to get the shoulder as well. The next part of the dance was lunging on forwards on the right foot, turning on the left and lunging again with the right foot in the opposite direction, then twisting again before taking 3 steps and on the fourth beat putting both feet together and hands on hips. This whole thing was then repeated. I struggled with remembering the routine at first but after running it through a few times I got the hang of it and could then work on focus and extension and generally sharpening everything up.
