Hello all,

Plan for next week: Fliss, Emma, Rachel and Hannah please read.

I'm not at practice next week, neither is Rachel-Anne, Katherine or Ellie.

I am going to leave you in the capable hands of Fliss, Emma, Rachel and Hannah who are all used to teaching and I think will manage to get you all busy! If Jo is around she is a good teacher too!

I'd suggest working on the alternative DERT set as well as obviously the main Westerhope DERT set. Outside of this please take the opportunity to work on figures you're not as confident on. For Emma R some work on Westerhope would be good and Emma H could probably do with 1 on Westerhope?

Alternative dilly work will need Fliss and Rachel so Emma you probably need to teach the other people (Hannah N I imagine you'll need to 3 for other dancing?). Emma if you can remain flexible and respond to both sets, Hannah can do some in-set teaching.

For alternative dilly:

I'd recommend filming this at the start so that those people can then look at it and figure out what they need to work on. There is the video from before which I gave these comments on:

Windmills: 2 turning a bit too quickly, their body turns round faster than 4

Single tumble: 4 needs to step for 4 with 2 and 3

Square display: Everyone went a bit rogue, Emma might be able to help with masking tape on the floor so you can judge yourselves.

Line up and down around needles: Make sure this happens at the same time, led by 3. And make sure you don't start too high on the line down.

Arches: 4 popeye arm

Tits: looking a lot better but still a bit frantic. Post tits 4 to try and move at the right time back to space, it is weird footwork!

Popcorn: Think high straight jumps and big sweeping arms

V displays: for both make sure it is all very neat. 2 and 4 need to position themselves around 3 at the end, with 1 and 5 need to be at a suitable distance. For the first v 1 and 5 want to make sure they don't go too far so everyone can fill in neatly between and behind.

Thanks,

Becky
