Points for improvement: 1. Keep thinking of rotation and turnout when doing grand plie, go up to go down and vice versa 2. POWER in my arms!!! Feel it all the way to my nails! 3. STRAIGHTEN BACK LEG 4. When balancing in attitude from retire - KNEE FIRST 5. Fouette and rotation - QUICK SNAP releve then turn 6. Arabesque - far and further 7. Turns - pull up from supporting leg, dont move supporting heel before turning 8. Grand jete - think of hurdles, body go forward, straighten back leg 9. Enterasse - kick forward not sideways!! 10. USE BACK, shoulders open and arm en dedan en dehors

Points for improvement: 

Shorter front, longer back (weight centre)

Elbows more forward

Use more of my back 

Pirouettes - use head, shorter front when preparing, hold arms in first, press shoulders down

Jumps - bigger, bigger, and even bigger
