In making movement sequences or dance repertoire, do you consciously consider and
utilize the elements of dance? What are your realizations and plans? (At least 300
words)

In my experience, I realized that I only make choreographies based or

accordingly to the song’s lyrics. I was too focused on conveying the message of the
song and forget to utilize some of the elements of dance such as the space and
qualities. I do consider the elements of dancing but now that I am recalled of the
elements, I realized that my past considerations and plans are not enough to make a
good quality performance.

I plan to take time on making movement sequences as I admit that most of the
time, I cram or rush the preparations. I also plan to consider the elements of dance
when making movement sequences, so that, the dance repertoire will have a direction
and will be more pleasing in the eye. Usually, because of too much consideration for the
dancer’s skills, it seems like I am underestimating, and I do not trust on their ability to
catch up on the steps. I consider time, too much that I forget about the space, the
quality, and the person.

In making movement qualities, I will make sure to consider the elements of dance
such as the rhythm, space, qualities in, time, force, and space. I will also give my full
trust to myself; to remember and take things into consideration, and my teammates or
social group when it comes to ability and skills. I will encourage them better to give
themselves a room for growth. I plan to enjoy dancing and not just do it because it is a
task from school or church that I need to comply, but rather, an activity where I sweat
but it removes my stress. My plan is to take it step by step and start by not rushing
myself to think of ideas and good sequence of movements.
