Analysis:

Which aspects am i successfully applying?

Fist of all i would say I'm applying Chakkars quite well as they are close too the ground (staying grounded) whilst following my hand successfully. I found that doing a Chakkar was quite easy for me, mainly because i haven't done that much Ballet so i weren't used to dancing in a particularly different dance style. I can improve this still but i would say this is

one of the areas i feel more comfortable in .

Which aspects am i not so strong at?

I feel as if my Mudras need work, i am not so confident in these areas as i tend to overthink the movement, simple or not over time i should hopefully improve this as i get more confident with the lyrics to the paragraph and just movement in general.

I also feel as though i tend to struggle with the Tatkar when we have to move both arms and feet Simultaneously. when i move one the other seems to go all over the place which is not what should happen, through some time developing my coordination through a coordination exercise, For instance, The overhead squat, standing march or the bird dog these will all help to improve my coordination therefore improving Tatkars.
