Main activity

We all learnt the words to Moulin Rouge - lady marmalade from a YouTube video.
Once we all got the hang of these we grabbed the chairs and started to put some choreography to the song.

The difficult part to this was then trying to remember the words and the dance, also getting the volume of our voices to over power the music.






Strengths -

  • I picked up the song words quick as i sort of knew them to begin with - this helped with my confidence with the song as i knew the melody of it
  • I picked the movement and character up quickly when we were taught the choreography
  • I tried my hardest to sing as loud as i could while dancing and didn't give up

Weaknesses -

  • It was hard to sing your best while dancing on the chairs, and if you didn't know all the words was very difficult to look at the board sing and dance at the same time
  • the room we were in was rather small for us all to do the movement fully, it also got very stuffy and was difficult to concentrate at times
