Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, This week, I did a work experience placement at my old dance studio. It was a lot of fun. I got to choreograph a contemporary routine, a ballet routine, and I even taught a samba routine to the students. At first, I choreographed the contemporary routine to Sia's song Bird Set Free but when I arrived at the studio, they didn't have the song so I ended up doing it to Dangerous by David Guetta. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll have probably seen the routine on my stories (I'll link it below). It worked beautifully and the students really enjoyed the routine and they wanted to add it to the show. I also taught a ballet routine to the song Rainbow from the movie Ballerina, to 4-5 year olds. A few of the found it difficult but the ones who were more advanced in ballet picked it up quickly and they all really enjoyed it in the end. On Wednesday, I taught samba to a group of 9-12 year olds during their tap class. Th...
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Today I am going to be showing you a stretching routine that you can do in your room quickly after homework. This routine should take approximately 10 minutes and if you do it regularly, you should be keeping up your flexibility. As well as showing you guys some stretches, I am also going to be sharing with you some health benefits by doing dance. Hope you enjoy! For this stretching session, I used the Capezio slip on jazz shoes but you can do it with socks on or barefoot. Dance can improve your mental health by putting a boost on your overall happiness. It also allows you to express yourself and release your emotions. Dance helps to improve your co-ordination, core strength, and flexibility. Things like co-ordination skills are needed when you are doing jazz turns or pirouettes. Dance can improve your cardiovascular health as well as improving your overall stamina. At school in dance, we...
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, We all had that time when we've tried to look preoccupied just so that we could skip talking to people. We frantically search for our earphones to pretend that we are listening to music even though our phone screen is off. Or, we frantically look for a book or the magazine that we bought down the shop, pick a random page and read it. I'm guilty of this and I know that many other people are too. But becoming a social butterfly does not have to be a scary thing. One of the benefits to talking to people is that it prepares you for what's to come in the future. You may need to network with people who share the same career path as you. More simply you may need to start getting to now your new community once you move out of the family home. There are lots of places where socializing is needed. So we've got to break down that barrier and become more interactive with people. And here's how: Find common ground ...
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, As most of you have probably already seen on my Instagram, a couple months ago now, me and my parents went on a road trip to Durham to visit the university there. I thought it would be a wise idea to apply to other universities apart from Cambridge so that I would have more options in the future should anything not go to plan. And that's why I chose Durham because it was a good university and I also heard many good things about it from people at work who said they had studied there. I had actually wanted to visit Durham during their open day but of course this open day just so happened to fall at the exact same time as the open days at Cambridge which I suppose is typical. Both Cambridge and Durham are pretty competitive institutions to enter and I suppose they want you as an applicant to be selective with your decisions and narrow your choices down. It was quite annoying but I took to the internet and researched other wa...
