All about: 1 Million Dance Studio - Dance Saturday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, I hope you're all still doing well during quarantine! It's the second post of my "All about____" series, where I talk about the dancers, choreographers, and people who have changed the way we look at dance. Last week, I talked about the Burn the Floor Dance Company so if you haven't read that already, I suggest you do because it's really interesting. You can find the link to it here . However, today I'm going to be talking about the amazing South Korean dance studio, 1 Million Dance Studio! 1 Million Dance Studio is an innovative dance center that was co-founded by Lia Kim and Timon Youn, on the 1st of December, 2014. Lia Kim is well known for her insane tutting skills and for her appearances at Urban Dance Camp and Kurt Hugo Schneider's music video to Closer, by the Chainsmokers. Whilst Timon Youn is not a dancer himself, he is very much responsible for the videography for 1 Million Dance Studio...

Preparing routines - My Trip to Tanzania (Post 8) - Dance Saturday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  As you might already know, if you've read my post that I published on Monday, I started up a half term street dance class for children aged 7-12 years to help me fund my expedition to Tanzania in the summer of 2022. So far, I've got a lot of good feedback and support from the advert that I started putting out to people last week. I got a couple responses from my Facebook advert and I also got some responses from the advert that I got my World Challenge co-ordinator to put out to the lower school. I've got three confirmations so far but I'm awaiting a direct response from a few others so we'll just have to wait and see. I know that some parents are quite busy so they might change their minds with these things. However, this past week, I've been working on trying to get some routines down so that I can start teaching them to the students. I've found it quite challenging because of the time pressure, the m...

Rio Ferdinand's dance background - Dance Saturday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  Recently, I watched another one of Steven Bartlett's amazing "The Diary Of A CEO" podcasts where he interviewed the famous British football player, Rio Ferdinand. A couple years ago now, I wrote a blog post on Rio Ferdinand which has now become one of my most popular posts on this blog. It was written in response to the documentary that Rio had released around that time about how he and his family were dealing with bereavement of his wife, who had died of cancer in 2015. If you would like to read about his story in more detail, you can find it here . All in all, I find Rio to be a truly inspirational soul who has overcome much adversity and many challenges to achieve his current level of success. Through listening to this podcast, I realised that Rio is a hard-working,"don't beat around the bush" kind of person and I believe that it was these attributes that allowed him to have the great experiences tha...

Being a model and role model are two separate things

Hello Jujubears and welcome to another blog post, Today I am going to be talking about the differences between models and role models and why we might get the two mixed up. I was recently reading Anne Frank's diary and she brought up how her parents wanted her to be the model child. At first, I thought it made sense but on second glance, I realised that it didn't. For example, we consider models to be figures in photos and magazines like Vogue. All models are doing is promoting something that they don't own. So by saying someone is or has to be a model child, it's implementing that they have to represent something that they don't own ; something that isn't them. To me, this makes sense and answers a lot of difficult questions. When we look at magazines, we look at something someone else has and try to fit it with our own body type. However, because it's not ours, it will never work. But because we associate the word model as someone to look up to, we keep ...
