Mee

Hey my name is Brett,and i am in dance strand at the BRIT School.
Attending the BRIT School has been my dream ever since i was 8, i have allways knew that dancing was going to be my life and i worked inccredibley hard and my dream came true.

I have been performing from a young age of 6, I have done things like pantomime, charity events , compatitions in a troup duo and solo and i have won, several awards in each.
Also i have danced on tv shows for example  i have danced , on chanel 4 on a show called, KOKO POPS this was dancing to new celebraty music me and my troup danced to people like tio cruz lady gaga N,dubs ext. Also i did gymnastics for 8 years, i attended at croydon school of gymnastics and competed in a vary of competitions and won.

People sometimes ask me who inspired you to dance but, No one person inspired me to dance i have been taken to ballets , Musicals and theatre shows since the age of 5 ever since then i knew i wanted to be one the performers on stage , and ever since, it has been my passion to dance and perform.

At a early age of 6 i did panto and i have done that ever since, i started at star dance academy in 2005 and i went unti 2011 and  i did compatitions in street dance and loads of shows , then i moved on to a more advanced dance company as i felt i grew out of star dance so i auditioned for ZOONATION and i have been there 2 years and i am in inter 3andvanced we have done 3 shows now and we are rehursing for are new christmas, show. I also have done ballet and contempary classes at a company called shirley cox.

This year i wad in a show called ' RIOT OFFSPRING it was a amazing opportunity, to be abe to perform on the main stage at , sadlers wells. The show was for Stravinsky 

100 anniversary and i was honerd to be involve in the whole function.

I believe, that to achieve goals as a dancer, you have to be committed and enthusiastic, have good team working skills, a dancer should also be hard-working energetic, confidence and resilient. A Dancer needs to be creative and adaptable, flexible and always behave in a professional manner. 

  

Todays Dance Class With Andrea

Today with Andrea we did contemporary one of the skills we use today was agility, agility means going in and out of the floor, we do that quite a lot in contemporary it's about how fluid The transition using the energy out of the floor, how it's absorbed into the floor. Today we also focus on our balance and core stability.

In the lesson first of all we started with the Warm up which included, running raising our heartbeat and some core exercises.

Firstly we went straight into are exercises and routine from the previous lesson, First routinely did was the swing exercise routine this went really well we had time to go over it with our partners, to sharpen it up we worked on our core balance and our dynamics and we had to really push ourselves and stretch ourselves out of our Comfort zone.

After this we did the routine which is dance to a song called night air Jamie Woon.

This is a really strong piece you really push ourselves to the limit there are lots of different formations.

After this we went into our solo
Which we learnt in the preview  lesson this is danced to a song called Freedom Anthony Hamilton and ElenaBoynton.

This is a really strong piece  with a lot  of jumps and different dynamics and the lining in our body has to be perfect. We perform this in small groups of eight so we have the chance to watch each other and correct each other also we had a chance to watch each other and get inspiration through each other, I really enjoy watching everybody dance because it gives me a chance to say I need to focus on doing is better and also I can actually talk to them and say you're doing is wrong and maybe I could help them out, because to be a good dancer you need to communicate with your fellow dancers, and help each other out.

After school today I went to the studio, and rehursted all the things I learnt in class, because I felt like I needed to improve in my dynamics and lining of my body so I did some conditioning and then worked on the routines and exercises we did in class, I feel like I do need more work in jazz and contemporary but I feel like with the amazing teachers that we have jodie and andrea I will become better in contemporary technique in jazz technique and develop my dancing skills.
