Monday 4th February

We worked on act 3 today.

At the beginning of the lesson Sam started helping us choreograph the animal routines and started by teaching Josh M and group 1 a simple dance that he would do on his own first and then after he did that once, group one would join in behind him, to give the impression the animals were being tamed, while group 2 would be 'misbehaving' behind group 1. Eventually both groups were being tamed by josh M and we were all doing our own sequences in pairs to the music.

After this we worked on the animal routine on our own and with Elle as she is a dancer herself, so she would be able to easily show us some simple dance moves to put into the routine. We did this dance to 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight' from the lion king because the song is really catchy and because it is quite slow in the middle we decided to have the music change half way through to surprise the audience when we suddenly changed into a fast pace dance, which was a remixed version of 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight'. The first part of the dance began with Josh M and Ben doing tricks with  hula hoop and then one by one pairs would come onto the stage and do their different tricks, for example Charlotte and I came on the stage juggling with scarves. After this we then decided that the music would change, the clowns would come on, disrupt our dance and then capture us, which would then lead us into the animal taming routine.

the lesson finished before we got a chance to finish everything, so we decided that we were going to finish it on another day instead.
