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...
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, You're probably reading the title of this post and are wondering what it is that I'm going to talk about today? Well, believe it or not, being your authentic and original self in dance is really important. What I mean by this is that it's sometimes important not to commercialise your movements and just to go where your body wants to go instead and express the emotion in the dance that you want to express. I for one am guilty of trying to add a difficult leap or a fan kick or a flip in my dance when in actual fact, sometimes a routine doesn't have to have that many layers in order to be great. Sometimes being organic and true to yourself is better than trying to do what every "dancer" does. This is something that I learnt recently in dance at school and I thought it would be good to share it on here. You're probably asking, if you're not doing what a "dancer" does, then what are you putti...
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Today I am going to be showing you a stretching routine that you can do in your room quickly after homework. This routine should take approximately 10 minutes and if you do it regularly, you should be keeping up your flexibility. As well as showing you guys some stretches, I am also going to be sharing with you some health benefits by doing dance. Hope you enjoy! For this stretching session, I used the Capezio slip on jazz shoes but you can do it with socks on or barefoot. Dance can improve your mental health by putting a boost on your overall happiness. It also allows you to express yourself and release your emotions. Dance helps to improve your co-ordination, core strength, and flexibility. Things like co-ordination skills are needed when you are doing jazz turns or pirouettes. Dance can improve your cardiovascular health as well as improving your overall stamina. At school in dance, we...
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...
