Balanced diet:
It is important for a dancer to have a balanced diet that consists of an equal amount of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals and fibre. It also helps to drink a lot of water.

Breakfast
For breakfast you should have a meal that mainly consists of carbohydrates. You shouldn't have refined sugar because it makes you tired. A good example of a breakfast could be scrambled eggs on whole-wheat toast, low-fat yogurt and an orange.

Lunch
For lunch, choose something that is high in carbohydrates, moderate in protein and easy to digest. A good example of this could be a turkey sandwich on whole-wheat bread with some grapes, or a pasta dish with a piece of fruit.

Dinner
For dinner you should have something high in complex carbohydrates and lean protein. A good example would be spaghetti with meat sauce, whole-wheat bread, broccoli and low-fat milk. By having a meal full of protein, it helps rebuild damaged muscles tissue.

Today we learnt about health and safety within the studio.
02.10.18
Why is it important to wear the correct footwear in the studio?
- To protect your feet
- To protect the floor
- To prevent injury (so you don't slip)
- So you feel confident when you dance and don't hold back due to footwear.
When can air conditioning be a bad thing in the studio?
- You could get a cold sweat
- The air quality could be bad
What can happen when you wear jewellery whilst dancing?
- Catch on clothes or hair and could cause injury
- Could break
What happens if your clothes are too tight?
- Restricts your movement
- Hard to breathe
What happens if your clothes are too loose?
- You and the teacher cant see your movement
- You could trip if your bottoms are too long
What are the risks of having food/drink in the studio?
- Make the floor sticky/slippery
- Makes the studio smell
What can happen if the studio is too cold?
- You could get a cold sweat or catch a cold
- Muscles are tight and unaffective
Why is an untidy studio a risk?
- You could trip over
Why is studio size important?
- So there is enough space for everyone
- So there's no confusion on stage when it comes to size.
If you are warm, does it mean you are warmed up?
- No
Warm ups:
Anything, physical or mental that prepares the body for the task you are about to do.
You warm up so you can get your muscles ready and avoid an injury, such as pulling a muscle.
- Full range of mobility in your joints.
How to warm up:
- Cardio
- Warm up muscles groups
- Prep stretches
A main muscle group is the back.
By doing cardio it raises your heartbeat which causes blood to flow quickly which oxygenates the muscles which helps you work better.

Mandy gave us a sheet to record everything we eat so that we could compare it with our food plate and think of ways to adjust it so it can meet the demands of performing arts training.
I could improve my breakfasts by eating more and more filling food to help me get ready for the day and give me energy. My lunches were generally quite good as I had food that could help give me energy, but I need to work on having lunch everyday. What I had for dinner was okay some nights but not ideal other nights. I need to make sure I have more lean proteins and complex carbohydrates.

The skeleton:
Role of the skeleton:
1.Protection
- Ribcage
- Skull
- Pelvis
2.Allows movement
3.Helps you stand and keeps your shape
4.Long bones
- Reservoir for bone marrow
3 main types/shapes of bones:
- Irregular - Vertebrae (spine)
- Clavicle (collar bones)
06/11/18
Joints of the body:
- Joints join bones together and allows movement.
3 main types of joints:
- Fibrous - These joints do not move (skull)
- Cartilaginous - All your bones start as cartalidge and harden as you age. These protect. Not all joints with cartalidge are cartilaginous joints (don't move much, feet, fibs)
- Movable - (knees, elbows, toes, fingers.) Gliding/sliding, Hinge, Saddle, Ball socket.
13/11/18
Today in healthy performer we learnt about more types of joints:
- Ellipsoid - e.g wrist
- Pivot - e.g neck
We also labelled all the bones in the body on our partner. My partner was Alex however, I wasnt sure about some of the bones.
Alex led a warm up today in which she focused on jazz dance. She begun with a cardio warm up in which she included star jumps, jogging, air punching/reaching and twisters.
She then went onto stretches which focused mainly on the legs.
I think the cardio went really well because it was effective and got my heart beat up. However, she could have included more stretches for the arms and back muscles.
20/11/18
Flexion - Muscle can only contract and relax.
Flexion (lateral) - Flexion over the side surface.
Plantar flexion - pointing your foot
Dorsi flexion - Dorsal = back fin of a dolphin (think of that to remember)
Extension - Hyper extension
- Goes beyond normal when it extends.
Abduction - means 'taking away' (from the middle)
Adduction - 'Bring it back' (towards the body)
Rotation - Rotation of a joint
-e.g hip joint, spine
Pronation - rolling in
Supernation - rolling out
Inversion - sickling in
Eversion - wing
Health and Safety
We took part in a health and safety lesson with the technician.
15/01/19
Today in healthy performer we chose 14 different types of movements that occur in the joints.
Using the order of these movements we individually created a movement piece that used all these movements.
22/01/19
Today in healthy performer we took our movements from last week and continued to work on them.
Me, Ella and Alex learnt Leah's movement piece.
I also taught Leah my movement piece. Once she knew it we tried it using opposite legs and arms and also different speeds.
29/01/19
Today I started teaching my movement piece to the others and we also practised other peoples pieces we had already learnt to make sure we remembered them. We also discussed how it could be filmed.

Plumline theory states that the plumline should pass through the earlobe, middle of the shoulder joint, highest point of the hip, middle of the knee and the middle of the ankle.
Mine passes through my earlobe, slightly forward at the shoulder, middle of the hip, front of the knee and in front of the ankle.
