Thread: nova raks from shik shak shok

Hi Mikhail, I remember your baladi video clip.

So it's stage right now for you, quite cool, you don't seem to be nervous. The choreo is simple yet effective and I must say it uses the stage space very well. But see that you get a light concept next time, it's very much worth while!

Maybe it sucks to hear critique even if it's constructive, but I feel like as relaxed and soft you are, there could be more inner muscle engagement, notably the famous pelvic floor (the art being to have inner muscle engagement while being soft on the outside), more intent in your movements and thus a little bit more passion - less indifference/superficiality. You're out on stage, so many people are watching you, that means something! So you've got to say something you really mean. On the positive side you feel the music well and you are charming and have charisma.

hi nouria, thanku for ur feedback.

I very much agree with Nouria, on the congrats as well as points to work on.

Engaging the pelvis and the pelvic floor is essential. Sometimes dancers who have thinner builds that tend toward muscular looking can confuse the inner engagement with the outward thinness/musculature.

I found the arms distracting, not because they aren't soft and graceful...they are, you understand soft.... but because, like the abs, there could be more dynamic purpose to the movement. Right now your arms are moving through the air...which is what they are doing...but if you really look at dancers with notable arms there's a certain strength and resistance with the movement as if they are moving through a thicker substance like honey, or working against strong elastic bands.

hey ozma, thanks for ur feedback.
