OTHER COMMENTS:

Good performance overall. Minor improvements to be made to improve spatial awareness amongst the dancers. Transitions between formations could have been done with a lot more haste to
tighten up the performance as a whole. Dancers should also be advised to not make unneccesary movements while waiting to execute the choreography and should stay in character throughout the
performance.
