How to choreograph a routine + My routine to Happier by Ed Sheeran- Dance Saturday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,

 I think that as a dancer, you always have to know how to choreograph a routine. You never know when you might need to come up with a routine whether it's for an audition, solo etc. I know that there have been times when I've had to come up with a routine on a spot. So it's always good that you guys know how to do so.

 Recently, I choreographed a routine to Happier by Ed Sheeran. It was a contemporary piece since It fit with the song. The first thing that I would recommend, if you can, is to choose a style that best fits with the song. I know that in the past, when I was told to devise a routine, we were given the choice on what styles we did and we all chose similar styles because they worked best with the song. 

 You also want to put an emotion that fits best with the routine that you're doing. If you're doing a sad piece put in sad emotions. If you're doing a happy routine, then put in happy emotions. It's also important to use your face so that you can really give off those emotions. My last Dance Saturday was on how to use your face. If you would like to see how, then click the link here: https://jujupage1sblog.blogspot.com/2018/09/how-to-use-your-face-more-in-dance.html .

Finally, to really drew in the audience, it's a good idea to add in tricks. It could be as simple as an illusion to as difficult as a back-handspring. So long as you got the technique down, then adding a trick really finishes everything off.

 How many routines have you choreographed? Let me know in the comments below and I will be sure to reply to them.

 See you next time,

 Bye

 XOX, Juliette

Is trophy hunting an acceptable thing to do?- Writing Wednesday

By -

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, A couple weeks ago, I watched a documentary by Louis Theroux which was about trophy hunting in Africa. Louis Theroux is renowned for making documentaries on controversial topics. He is excellent at filming these documentaries without imposing too much of his own opinion on the subject. If you have time to watch this, I really recommend you do because some of the things I saw were shocking and I was stunned that people were not ashamed by their actions. This is what I'm going to talk about today but if you want to watch the documentary, I'll leave the link below. It's truly worth the watch. The first place that Louis visited was a house owned by hunters from Ohio. Unable to hunt anything considered to be interesting in their own country, they went to South Africa to hunt there. They hunt things from wild boar to zebras. One lady that they interviewed was cautious at first to do the hunting, but once she managed to ki...

How to free yourself from toxic friendships- Lifestyle Monday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, I have had a lot of friends in the past. I would probably say that since the beginning of school, in reception, till now, none of them have stayed. That's okay. I have made new friends. Those friends from the past have chosen different paths to me. Some paths I would disagree with but we have to accept that we are all different people with different aspirations in life. Within my current friendship group, there have been arguments and ups and downs but we also have to accept that that is part of any friendship. It's not all rocky, we have great and fun times over the majority of the time. I would say that now, I know who are my real friends and who are not. That is because I've learnt the art of freeing myself from friends I do not want to associate myself with. There have been times when I've just been clinging onto rude people in the hopes that they'll come round. In the end I just found that I was wasting m...

My trip to Creams, Cambridge with my sister- Lifestyle Monday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, On Saturday, I went to Creams with my sister Alice. We thought it would be a good idea to go again since I've just finished my first set of exams and I needed to go into town anyway to get some new trainers. We took the 11:30am bus into the centre of Cambridge. When we arrived, we took a second bus to Cambridge Leisure Centre. Last time, we walked there from centre and it was quite a long walk so this time we decided to get the bus. When we arrived at Creams, we sat down at one of the tables and decided what we were going to eat. I decided to get a red velvet hot cookie dough dessert with strawberry ice-cream with a banana berry smoothie. My sister got the peanut butter hot cookie dough with a strawberry smoothie. Yes, we did just get dessert for lunch like we did last time but it's not everyday. The food was delicious anyway. Once we finished, we walked back to centre to burn off all the sugar we ate. We then went straig...

Not being afraid to be who you are - Writing Wednesday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Recently, I went to the Cambridge Open Studios and visited a house that I've driven past a lot of times but have never actually been in before. It's called the Wooden House and there's a big yellow tower that you can see emerging from the trees. At first, I thought it was a house full of crazy people because it was quite an out-there place. However, when we parked up and began walking up the garden path, we were welcomed by a overpowering view of colour and art.  Everything that was made had reused parts to it. There was a fish outside made out of scrap metal and inside it, it had old harmonicas so that when there was a strong wind, the fish would make music. Inside, we were met with a lady who made a living by selling her beautiful homemade crockery. She showed us how to put coloured pieces of transfer paper onto plates and fire them in a kiln to produce a beautiful art-deco style. Whilst she was talking, I couldn...
