Finding your own style as a dancer - Dance Saturday

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

 I kind of hate it when people say that there's a certain way you have to do things. Like, in order to be an engineer you have to get a degree or in order to own a business you have to get a business qualification. For me, personally, it kind of shows how unoriginal we are. In my opinion, it shouldn't be the case that more people take what they know and put it into something that's already been created. Really, people should be creating new things from something that they've never seen before. When it comes down to a dance style, this is what more dancers should try to be doing. I think that far too many dancers copy others instead of being inspired by them. For example, the street group Diversity, got recognition because they created something that dancers didn't really do much of at the time. However, many dancers copied that and the originality of the style was lost because people were copying what Diversity were doing instead of using that style to inspire their own. In quite a lot of creative professions, it is difficult to be original because as human beings, the only things we know are the only things we've seen. However, I have endeavoured to try and find my own style in dance because it's important to think outside the box. I'm always told by my teacher in dance to incorporate my own style into the routine and it's true. It's so eye-catching to see several people dance the same routine differently. Unity has its strengths but when it comes down to doing a solo people should be incorporating their own style into the routine because it makes it interesting to watch. Even if it's just a small section of the routine or just one movement, your dancing will look more genuine if you're including your own movements. This can be done in any genre of dance you do.

Never feel ashamed to voice your opinion and never let anyone steal your mind-#jumpintomonday- Lifestyle Monday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, I don't know if people outside of Britain have something like this in schools but here we have a thing called conference day which is a day where you learn something unconventional and would probably not do in normal everyday lessons. For this conference day, the topic was life skills.  In this one part of the day, we learnt about mental health and depression. Why this had anything to do with life skills, I do not know. It was going pretty smoothly at first. They were talking about what effects mental health problems had on people and those around them and why it's important to speak about these sorts of things. Then as the teacher flicked over to the next slide, things turned sour pretty quickly. This slide was labelled "Things you cannot say incase it offends someone with a mental health problem." Now some of the words I could understand why they were mentioned like "psycho" and "idiot" but

Charlotte Brontë- The power of writing

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Victorian Britain was, as many would say, unfair,cruel and harsh. It is a fact that women were discriminated in the sense that they did not have a voice or the power to act on problems in society. Victorian Britain and other countries too, were very patriarchal. This is particularly apparent during the life of Charlotte Bronte.  On the 21st of April 1816 was the birth of Charlotte Bronte.  In her early life, Charlotte dedicated her life to teach children and her family. She returned to Haworth where her sister's opened a school but failed to get students. Therefore, she and her sister's turned to writing.  She and her sister's hid their true identities. Charlotte concealed her name under the pseudonym Currer Bell in a bid to sell her books.  They believed that concealing their names under a male identity would get their books to sell. This is one of the major signs of a patriarchal society during the Victorian tim

Being a model and role model are two separate things

By jujupage1 -

Hello Jujubears and welcome to another blog post, Today I am going to be talking about the differences between models and role models and why we might get the two mixed up. I was recently reading Anne Frank's diary and she brought up how her parents wanted her to be the model child. At first, I thought it made sense but on second glance, I realised that it didn't. For example, we consider models to be figures in photos and magazines like Vogue. All models are doing is promoting something that they don't own. So by saying someone is or has to be a model child, it's implementing that they have to represent something that they don't own ; something that isn't them. To me, this makes sense and answers a lot of difficult questions. When we look at magazines, we look at something someone else has and try to fit it with our own body type. However, because it's not ours, it will never work. But because we associate the word model as someone to look up to, we keep

We are all the product of our mistakes

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, We are all the product of our mistakes. In the past, I have made many mistakes. Like hitting my sister, throwing my sister's board game pieces on the floor, and drawing in my sister's books. But some of my mistakes were also accidental like getting a question wrong in class.  However, I for one can confidently say that I have been able to learn from my mistakes. But over the years, I have noticed that some people never learn. The product that came out of my mistakes was a better person. But the product out of some people's mistakes are worse people. I have seen countless photos on social media of people drinking underage, wearing inappropriate clothes, and even swearing.  Those are big mistakes that will affect them in the future. And they still don't learn. Many say that its because of bad parenting but when I see some people with inadequate parents, they are still good people.  It never ceases to amaze me how so
