☆Here you have the original video of Overdrive to have a look :
☆Also I pasting the video with our version of overdrive :
The things which I found difficult were dancing barefoot.Because I couldn't do properly some pirouettes ,specially in the end of the second section when I was turning around before the jump.Also what I found difficult was catching the balance, after the turns. Now when I see the difference between dancing barefoot and dancing with jazz shoes so is much easier to dance with shoes than without them.

"Evolution of Overdrive"
Last week in
Wednesday 3rd of November my class danced "Overdrive".
This was a part of our assignment for contemporary dance lesson. “Overdrive is
one of a series of pieces I made responding to the excitement and energy of
pure rhythm. Rainbow Bandit (1977), Strong Language (1987) and Roughcut (1990)
were all such pieces, riding swiftly along on a great tide of repeated rhythms.
The rhythms in Overdrive are indeed quite relentless, and the dancers need to
count them exactly, leaping from one melodic fragment to another”.
The
Overdrive which we’ve done was little be different because between two big
section we put our group duets which made this dance more interesting from the
original. Also in the end of the second section we repeated half of first
section to the end with nicely and soft move.
In my
opinion the show gone really well because everyone danced the best as could and
before the show was working really hard. Also what helped us a lot was the
group work where everyone were helping each other with the movements.
My favourite
moments in Overdrive are when we did butterfly, different turns and jump in the
end of second section. If someone ask what I like the most from Overdrive I
would say our duets and second section because this section was more energetic
than the first one. Also our duets I think made us feel like proud because this
was really our work and we didn’t copy whole of someone work. Also that was
really nice feeling that we could diverse someone work.
Also I can say
that I'm happy about my dance because I think I danced really good. After
watching the show I can see it that my technique is improving; for example my
moves are clearly than before, my legs are stronger and also my pirouettes are
getting better. At the lessons I tried be focused all the time and listen
teacher comments. If something I couldn’t do properly at the lessons I was
practising after college at home or in the park. Also I was trying to do not do
the same mistakes than before.
The thing which
I found difficult was dancing barefoot. Because I couldn't do properly some
pirouettes, especially in the end of the second section before the jump. Also
what I found difficult was catching the balance, after the turns. Now when I
see the difference between dancing barefoot and dancing with jazz shoes, so is
much easier to dance with shoes than without them. Summarizing my utterance I just can’t
dance barefoot.
If I want to
improve my dancing skills I have to really work hard and do a lot of stretching
to make angles nicer. Now everyone have to build yours body to make them
stronger and flexible .And also I have to keep practising and just enjoy dance.
