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,

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, A week ago on Sunday, it was announced that the lockdown in the UK would at least be somewhat lifted. I was quite happy about that because although I seemed to be surviving well just walking by the field that's behind our house, the effects of cabin fever seemed to be catching up on me as well. On Tuesday, me, my sister, and my mum actually took a proper walk around our village. Although I've been doing some walks in the fields, I haven't actually taken a casual stroll on the streets of my village in the 2 months of lockdown because my parents advised that it was best to stay clear of as many people as possible. So when I actually took the time to walk around my village, even that seemed to bring back some sense of freedom. It was still weird for me to walk past my school knowing that had all this not happened, I would probably be in the peak of exam season. For some odd reason, I'm still taking in how much has chan...

Collective responsibility is predicated on "self-responsibility" - Writing Wednesday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  Although there has always been a notion that we should endeavour to look after each other, collective responsibility has arguably never been talked about as much as it has been talked about in today's modern society. As an individual, I recognise the importance of helping others who are in need of being helped because I understand that not everyone was born into the same privileged circumstances that I was fortunate enough to have been born into. Hence why, although I admit that I'm not the world's best charity-giver, I have perhaps taken up the job that I have of being a support worker and helping those families with Down's Syndrome relatives who are in need of help. Not only is it a highly rewarding experience, I find that it is also an excellent way to give back to the community. However, I have also recently grappled with the notion in my mind that collective responsibility is in some ways still predicated on p...

How difficult is it to live without plastic? - Writing Wednesday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, I read this great article from my local village newsletter about this woman who tried to live an entire month without plastic. I don't read the newsletter often because I don't usually find interesting articles in it. I would modestly consider it as something tailored more towards old people! But my mum was talking about this particular article and I decided it was worth a read.  We go on and on about how we should use less plastic without thinking about the many useful things that are actually wrapped in plastic. In the article, the author Catherine Burch, states that she could only buy wine,beer,posh chocolate in cardboard packets, eggs, and a couple of over-ripe tangerines. For her family of 5 people at dinner, there was nothing to cook. Coming to think of it, there are so many things you cannot buy because it's all wrapped in plastic. Sliced or whole loaves of bread, milk cartons with the plastic cap, fruit and ...

Finding something new to study

By jujupage1 -

Hello Jujubears and welcome to another blog post, Today, I am going to be doing something a little bit different. I've been on the hunt for something new to study. I looked up 'interesting things to study' and it came up with: How to pickle your own vegetables (?!) Learn a new language ( I am bilingual) Learn to code (been doing enough of that already) Find out more about microbiology (too complicated) I just wanted to find out more about a particular subject. So then I searched up 'interesting SUBJECTS to study'. It came up with this: Mathematics (I'm on holiday)  English (again, I'm on holiday) Complete study and practice of geography ( again,again, I'm on holiday) So I thought. I've been really enjoying history. Let's search up some fun history topics to study. It came up with this. Korean war (meh) Franco-Spanish war (mmh) The Crusades (maybe later) Holocaust (interesting, I've been studying that) So as y...
