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

Reviewing Harvey and Janette's perfect score couple's choice routine - Blogmas day 2 - Dance Saturday

By -

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, I feel like Strictly has a real Christmas atmosphere to it so I thought that I would make my reviews a part of Blogmas. Enjoy! I'm really happy that Harvey got a perfect score for his couple's choice routine last Saturday. In most circumstances, the celebrity dancers want to get a perfect score and so they kind of expect it to happen. However, this came to the surprise of Harvey and I truly think that he deserved it because he worked hard and really executed the dance well. Like Craig, I wasn't thinking too much about the dance itself because I was just enjoying watching it in the moment. I really liked the choreography that Janette did because it was a nice mixture between contemporary and street commercial and it really suited Harvey's style well. What I really liked about the dance also were the lifts. At the beginning of Strictly, Harvey was really nervous to do lifts because he felt like he wasn't going to ...

What I packed to Cromer!

Hello everybody and welcome to another blog post, I recently went to Cromer, Norfolk with my family just to chill and relax before big upcoming tests. I had a lot of fun there. The place we were staying had a Jacuzzi, a sauna, a pool and a steam room all for a very good price (I will leave the location of the place on the side) but more about this on my 3 day journeys. Here is what I packed. Enjoy! The first thing that I packed was a long sleeved top with cut outs on the shoulders with the word beauty at the front. This is probably from Primark. To pair with that, I got these blue high-waisted jeans also from Primark. I also got this grey lace up on the sides top. This was from Topshop. I paired this with just some simple grey leggings from Tesco. I also brought two of my favourite books to read. I also brought some deodorant,a hair brush and hair gobbles in my Treacle Moon wash bag! I also bought my swimming costume since the...

How to control your competetiveness- Dance Saturday

By -

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, It isn't wrong to have a desire to be better than others. That is what makes you better at what you love doing. But, if that desire becomes too strong, your competitiveness can turn into poisonous envy that can only bring you down further in what you do. About over a year ago,  I joined a highly competitive dance studio that specialised in jazz,ballet and all things technical. I despised the dancers in that studio because they had everything and they constantly compared themselves to their peers in the most ugly way possible. They compared themselves on their size and on having the most pirouettes. This was the reason I ended up leaving and going to a better studio a year later. However, I did end up learning a valuable lesson from it. I originally joined thinking that the competetiveness would make me a better dancer and more known in the dance community but I was wrong. The competetiveness was overpowering. The dancer...

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...
