Dance:" Breakdance and Capoeira"

Last week before half-term we were still practised Breakdance and Capoeira. That time we also improved our pieces and we did pair observation just to make sure is it everything alright and what we have to still improve on. My pair observation was Cagla and Isabel. Here I will type all their comments about my dance. Also I wanted to put some videos from this lessons but unfortunately my phone is broken and I lost my all documents from phone...sorry...

My comments:

I definitely agree to those comments and I will try to correct all my weaknesses to change them for my another strengths'. I think this lesson was very useful and now I know exactly  what I have to improve and work on for the next lessons.So I have to find time at home to start to practise them.
