Ballroom Dance - Dance Saturday

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

 Ballroom dance is a popular form of dance that is performed alongside a partner. Many enjoy this style of dance socially or competitively all over the world. Many who enjoy it competitively perform it at well renowned ballroom theatres like Blackpool and Sadler's Wells or compete in world championships. Others who enjoy it as a way to socialise and to improve a hobby, take part in lessons in their free time. There are many types of ballroom and Latin dance like: Waltz, Jazz, Jive, Rumba, Cha-Cha, Paso doble, Tango, Samba, Salsa, Foxtrot and Quickstep. The smoothest dance out of all of these is the waltz because of its characteristic rise and fall movements. Due to this, it is often performed as the first dance at weddings or it can often be seen gracing the floor at many performances. This can be quite a contrast to the intensity of the tango and paso doble and the upbeat feel of the cha-cha and samba. However, the most contrasting is jazz because of its characteristically turned in knees, Jazz hands, and kicks and leaps. This is not seen in the quickstep or foxtrot, that are very similar to the waltz. All of these dances can be found to be enjoyed in popular TV shows like Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing With The Stars, which many aspiring ballroom dancers, enjoy watching.

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...

This is a night out for us - Lifestyle Monday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  I guess we are all kind of missing going out a bit. On Saturday evening, my mum ordered some food from La Latina Bustaurante. Before this pandemic started, me and my family used love going to the bus restaurant because it served really great food and it was a fun way to treat ourselves. Plus, the clue is kind of in the title, it's a restaurant on a bus that serves Latin American food and who doesn't like that? However, with Ms Rona taking over the world (as my sister likes to say), we've obviously had to stop going so instead we went and got a takeaway. Let's be honest, we all seem to be stuffing ourselves anyway with food because we can't get away from that toxic kitchen every time we walk past it. However, we made a conscious effort to eat a light meal at lunch so that we could really go HAM in the evening. Me, my mum, and my dad got some Tostones. My parents had it with beef but I had mine with pulled pork...
