How to devise a routine- Dance Saturday

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

 If you are choosing dance as a GCSE/BTEC option, you are going to need to know how to come up with a routine. I know That in BTEC dance, you might need to come up with a solo or a group routine to show the examiners what you can do. So it is always a good idea to get devising under your belt. Here are a few tips and tricks to help you on your way.
  1. Choose a style that your comfortable and confident in. By doing this, you are eliminating your chances of getting things wrong with your technique.
  2. If you are confident enough, you can try combining together 2 different dance styles. If you can make it work, you will really impress the examiners.
  3. Choose a storyline that reflects something that has happened in your life. By doing this, you are really bringing a lot of emotion and feeling to the dance.
  4. If you're struggling to come up with moves, turn on your favourite music and start improvising. This will really help with deciding what steps you want to add to your routine.
  5. Finally, once you've finished choreographing your routine, it's a good idea to film it or write the steps down so that you don't forget.
Any other tips? Let me know in the comments below and I will be sure to reply to them. I ♡ hearing from you.

See you on Monday for another lifestyle post,

Bye,

XOX, Juliette

Karim and Kelvin's scores of 39. How can they make it to 40? - Dance Saturday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Last Saturday was Blackpool, where all the celebrity dancers went to perform at one of the most iconic places for ballroom dance. There were a lot of amazing dances and you could tell that everyone really tried to raise the bar. However, there were two dancers that went above and beyond and both had a score of 39. Many thought that this would be Craig's first ten given out this series but he gave these dancers both a 9! Today, I'm going to be talking about Karim and Amy's Charleston and Kelvin and Oti's jive and how they can improve further to get Craig's ten that they both deserve. When Kelvin announced that he was doing a jive for Blackpool, I wasn't entirely certain if he would have been able to have pulled it off because you have to be so light on your feet and he's quite a muscular guy. However, the jive that I saw last Saturday, was amazing! It was proper old school and it very much embraced th...

The Jasmin Vardimon Company at the Sadlers Wells Theatre - Dance Saturday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, As many of you already know, recently I joined the Cambridge Youth Dance Senior Company and I have now been taking classes with the group every Tuesday evenings since I joined in September. So far, everything is going well. We are set to perform at the Energise Dance Festival on the 4th of February next year so we have all worked together to come up with choreography for a 4 minute piece that we are creating for the show.  However, during the October half term, we also went to see the production Alice, performed by the professional dancers from the Jasmin Vardimon Company at the Sadlers Wells Theatre in London. The performance was spectacular and much of our inspiration for our own 4 minute routine, came from what we saw at the Sadlers Wells Theatre. The production was loosely based on the classic Alice in the Wonderland tale and the show combined props, costuming, and innovative choreography to tell a story of Alice coming of ...

Blogmas day 4- decorating the Christmas tree-what a nightmare!⛄🌲

Hello Jujubears and welcome back to another blogmas post, Today I will be talking about what a nightmare it was putting up the tree. Before we get on to the blog post, make sure you are following me to get up to date with my life! I am sure the Jujubear fam will accept you! Now let's get on to the blog post.👉 Our house has basically been a building site. We had no idea that getting an extension could be this stressful. Though we got our floor installed so we could finally get a tree! This time a big tree which we could not get in the past. It was such a nightmare though because the stand for the tree wouldn't work so it took us a whopping two hours to actually get the tree standing. However, we finally managed to and we listened to Michael Bublé  and other Christmas artist whilst decorating the tree. For more amazing pictures like this, check out my instagram📷-  https://www.instagram.com/jujupage1/ How long did it take roughly to put up your Christmas tre...

Getting back into dance + reviewing the Greatest Dancer 2020 - Dance Saturday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, It's January and I'm beginning to get back into the swing of things. I've started to stretch and practice in the morning. I'm particularly focusing on my tricks because I think that my dance teacher at school would like me to perform some in the street routine we're doing for the show. It's themed on Into the Hoods, which I did research on for my coursework. I published a section of it on my blog, if you would like to read it. Kate Prince, the artistic director of the production, is an interesting character and an inspiring person to read about so I would definitely recommend that you read my post on her because she has an interesting story. I think the show is one thing I'm looking forward to doing this year because since I'm in year 11 now, there's a lot more I'll be involved in and I also get to choreograph my own contemporary routine with some of my classmates so it would be a time to r...
