Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, I recently sat down and watched Simon Reeve's documentary on the Mediterranean with my mum and my sister and was shocked by what I saw. The journey of the migrants crossing over Ceuta, the busiest shipping lanes injuring passing dolphins, and the amount of plastic that fishermen dig up from the bottom of the seabed is just horrendous. But what is more shocking to me is how ignorant we are about this one particular subject. It made me realise that in the grand scheme of things, nothing is cruelty free. On one of his trips, Simon visited greenhouses that grow and cultivate the majority of our fruits and vegetables. The workers were all migrants that had crossed over from neighbouring Africa. These greenhouses are made up of large plastic sheets - a cheap but successful alternative used in mass production of our produce. These greenhouses provide the work migrants need to survive and although the business is successful, it...
Hi guys, Welcome back to my blog. Today I am going to recall my experiences in Réunion and travel. The first flight we took was a nightmare because there was so much turbulence throughout the night that I was actually sick in the morning and I hate being sick. We still had a long drive to get to our accommodation in Réunion but we drove by the sea front which helped with my travel sickness. My favourite place to eat in Réunion has to be Le Patio because you can choose what you want to eat. So after we arrived, we went to Le Patio and I had a really nice salad with fish inside. It was delicious. The next day, we went to St Pierre to go to the beach. I love the beach of St Pierre because as well as being full of people, it still managed to keep its wild side. There are also loads of really cool, colourful fish to see. The other two beaches that I went to was L'Hermitage and L'Étang salé which were both equally as good. My auntie, uncle, and cousins also came to visit and it ...
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, What does it mean to be a full-time dancer?- To work 25 hours per week. This post was obviously inspired by the amazing Claudia Dean. She is an amazing dance coach who has trained at the Royal Ballet School. If you would like to check her out, she has a YouTube channel, which I will link below along with some of her other links. Recently, she posted a video about becoming full-time at a young age, and the risks that come with it. As Claudia stated in her video, this message about becoming fulltime at a young age needs to be spread to the next generation of dancers. And, as a part of the next generation of dancers, I think its really important that I share my point of view on this topic as a helpful guideline to young dancers and choreographers. As some of you may know, if you've been a long-term follower of my blog, is that I went to a pretty rubbish dance school where I practiced Jazz for a year. I hated it because no...
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Over the past few months, I've been sharing with you guys, some of my dance diary entries for my dance logbook. I haven't completed my logbook yet but it's coming up to the summer term and we need to have it completed really soon so that we can give it to the examiners. For the first part of year 10, we completed what's known as a skills audit where we ticked boxes under columns to highlight what our strengths and weaknesses were at the start of the year. We also stuck in our first diary entry underneath that which just went into detail what we did in our first lesson. Then we did what is called our SMART targets which are goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound. I put things like I wanted to improve my leg flexibility and I wrote the exact steps that I would take to improve it and how long that is was roughly going to take. I also added photos of me doing the stretches so that t...
