Some key dance skills i'm hoping to achieve + happy 2 year bloggiversary- Dance Saturday

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

 First and foremost I would like to thank you guys out there for supporting me for the past 2 years on my blog. I completely forgot it was my bloggiversary, it should have really been announced on the 14th, the exact date I started but it doesn't matter because we're celebrating it now. Around two years ago because I haven't been keeping exact track, at 12 I began blogging. I've always been so passionate for writing that my mum came up with the idea of starting a blog. One day, on my dad's birthday, we went to Norfolk to celebrate and that's when me and my mum went on the Blogger website and created my very own page. It looks a lot different now but back then, with such little experience in this field, I found it amazing. I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, that my first post was a what I eat in a day post. Back then, it was only a bit of fun but it has now become one of my most viewed and most popular posts on my blog. Apart from my post about fighting fear which has now received over 100 views, wow, it has been really successful. I am also so glad that many of you have decided to also follow me on Instagram. Ever since I started my blog, I've been increasing in followers. I have now attained over 800 followers and the list is still going. However, I can dwell so much on why you guys deserve a massive THANK YOU but I think that we'll be here until the next solar eclipse! Lol, bit of an exaggeration! But if I haven't mentioned it yet, THANK YOU, without you guys, I wouldn't be where I am today. :)

 On to what we came here for today. There's been a lot of skills that I've seen other dancers do that I'm really in awe about and wish that I could do so guess what? I'm going to do just that. Every Dance Saturday on my blog I will be updating you on my progress with the skills I've listed below. Hope you enjoy!
  • The first skill I would like to get is quite simple but one that I've been struggling on for years and that is double pirouettes. For some weird reason, I find it really easy to do back walkovers and acro tricks than I find getting up on one leg  and spinning so I am determined to get this. However my hopes aren't that high I'm struggling to even do one! 😂
  • The next skill is a front walk over. Now, I had this nailed a couple years ago but now I've seemed to have lost it completely. I can get over just fine it's just I struggle getting up! My core seems to fail me all the time. Perhaps that's what I need to work on.
  • The third trick, I don't know the technical term for it but it's a sort of jump into splits. Not a leap but it's where you swing either your left or your right leg round and jump down into the splits on the floor. I've seen a few dancers do this and I thought it looked really cool.👌
  • The last skill I would like to try and achieve is a tilt. I can sort of do this now but I need more flexibility in my hips and legs to really extend that leg up high.
What are some of your tips for me to help me achieve these skills? Let me know in the comments below and I'll be sure to reply to them. I ♡ hearing from you!

See you next time,

Bye,

XOX, Juliette

The Duke of Endinburgh Awards

Hi guys, Welcome back to my blog. Today I am going to be talking about the Duke of Edinburgh awards. Before we get on to the blog post, make sure to hit the follow button on the sidebar. I hope you love the blog transformation. I've been working on it for the past few days to make things more accessable and aesthetically pleasing. I hope you appreciate it! Today's shout out goes to Ladylike on YouTube. They do amazing videos. We as women can definitely relate to the videos. Please go and check them out! Let's get on to the blog post. The Duke of Edinburgh Awards. A self-improvement program for adolescents and adults. This was founded by Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh. At first, I wasn't so sure about joining this program. It just didn't seem my thing; doing volunteering work and completing challenges until finally, surviving for two days in the wilderness. However, something inside me just clicked. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. By doing this, it sh...

New years resolutions for 2019

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Today I'm going to be making some new year resolutions for 2019. This time last year I made a few new years resolutions for 2018 and although I succeeded at completing some of them, many of them I did not complete. That's okay, but in order to ensure that my chances of completing them are higher this year, I need to be determined and keep looking back on my goals. So without further a do, here are my new years resolutions. Enjoy! Go to Berlin. I am going on a history trip for 5 days to Berlin, Germany in April. I've got my passport ready already and I can't wait to go! Start teaching dance or do something in work experience involving dance. I am hoping to start teaching dance perhaps part-time or for a small amount of hours since I'm only 14 but I do want to become a choreographer when I'm older so I thought it would be useful. If this is unable to happen, I was hoping of asking my dance studio or my ...

Hello everybody and welcome to another blog post, Today, I will be talking about a somewhat interesting day in a life of me. If you liked this post, please comment, I love to hear from you and reply to your comments! I usually leave a question at the end of every blog post so you can reply to that if you want! I am also trying to grow my blogging family so please don't forget to follow! Now, let's get on to a day in a life of me!👉 I woke up at 8am on Friday the 29th of December 2017. I was still extremely tired! But I'm that type of person that when I'm awake, I struggle to get back to sleep. So, as per usual, I just scrolled on my phone till it was 9am and time to get up. There isn't a specified time from which I must get up but my family find it weird, for some strange reason, if I'm awake earlier or later. Once I am down stairs, I say "good morning" and hug my parents before heading to the kitchen. Today, my dad was assembling the island which my...

Blogmas day 2- Setting up the tree!

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Yesterday was the first of December meaning we were going to get our Christmas tree. Our first stop was Tescos however because my sister wanted to get some chocolates for her friend's birthday. While we were there, we also bought some meat and cheese because my mum wanted to make a lasagna for dinner. We also bought a can of peas to give to the food bank. It's sad that we even have to give anything to the food bank but in our area I know that there are quite a few people who are struggling to get their basic needs so its nice to give something back. I was also glad to see that a lot of other people were giving to the food bank. After shopping, we got into the car to go to our nearest rectory  farm where they sell real Christmas trees.  When we arrived, we pulled down the back seat to allow for room for the tree. We then started looking for the tree. We found a good tree at first but then we decided we should look aro...
