Jillina Drum Solo (sort of)

Quick drum solo choreo based on Jillina's Drum Solo Choreography. This is mostly just for people that asked for more videos-it isn't great. So don't judge. :P

My critique:

Overall pretty good. The two things that I noticed that could be improved are:

~Watch your hands. Control them more, so they aren't flipping so much.

~Don't anticipate the music. Since you know the song well, often you are doing a movement about a second before that beat in the song actually happens. (It is a common thing.) This can be prevented by making sure that you are staying in time with the music, rather than doing the choreo on "autopilot".

Thanks so much for the feedback! I started out as an actor, so I understand creative criticism and I appreciate when I get it! Thanks again! ~Tavi

wow ur good =)..but theres one thing thatreally destracted me: since ur face is perfectly on display as everything else. the problem is that ur face expressions are so extreme, I had real trouble to concentrate on the dancing because ur face was doing so much at the same time...it's good to smile but I wouldn't put to much emphasis on the facial expression...I'd keep it a bit more gentle. But anyway the second time I watched it I actually looked at the dancing part and that was extremely good =)

Thanks for the feedback! I was an actor before a bellydancer, and a cheerleader growing up, so sometimes it's hard to remember that when I'm dancing, the focus should be on by body more than my smile. Also, to be honest, dancing really makes me happy, and I tend to let that show through, even when I'm doing a serious part. Thanks again for the advice, i truly do appreciate it! :) ~Tavi

You´re great dancer... you can share your passion for bellydance and that´s awsome... even more when you quote the source of the choreo this actions is so ethic and every dancer should do it if we dance something that is not made for our own intelect right?! excellent example of everything!!
