 When reading the module handbook I came across 'Theoretical concept-learning cycles' and 'Kolb's learning cycle'. Through reading the different stages of the learning cycle I discovered that I enter the cycle at the 'reflective observation' stage. This made me consider times in my practice where I have learned/discovered through 'reflective observation'. When I first made my blog I felt completely overwhelmed and was very unsure how the correct to write a blog was. To help me find some inspiration I sought to find other students first blog posts and what they had written. After a reading a few different blogs I found I was comfortable enough to write my own first blog. When I taught my first dance class I used a piece of music a choreographer who I looked up to in college had used for a 'move it' piece. When I played the role 'Prince Charming' in Cinderalla I researched into how other people had played 'Prince' roles before.

I don't see myself as a technical dancer- hence why I've always said "I can't choreograph" Not coming from a technique background gives me an excuse not to choreograph So I actually like this idea because it gives me an excuse not to do something because I'm scared I won't be good at it? Recently I started up my own intermediate dance class, something I had never done before. this meant I was forced to choreograph routines for dancers at a similar standard to me. To start with I panicked "I can't do this!" I thought. however I had agreed to teach these dance classes and I wanted them to be good so I didn't really have a choice. However when I began choreographing I discovered I was starting to enjoy it. After teaching my first class a couple of the attendees came over to me to tell me how much they loved my choreo
