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

A weekend away in Harwich - Writing Wednesday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  On Friday afternoon, me and my family packed our bags, got in the car, and left for the industrial seaside town of Harwich. If you don't really know my family well, then you won't know that we often do these sort of spur of the moment things where we spontaneously get away and either have a day out or a short weekend away just to relax and have fun. On Friday, we thought it was a good idea to begin our half term holiday with a short weekend away. I knew that this was something that we were going to do but I only found out on Thursday that we were going to Harwich so it was kind of a nice surprise. I was headset on not doing any work on the holiday so I literally brought nothing in terms of school work with me. My mum insisted that we all just enjoy ourselves on the weekend so I literally made it my mission to basically chill out and do nothing. It was very refreshing and I'm glad I did it! I feel like the first term of

Oti and Kelvin's epic Samba and Will and Janette's insane quickstep on week 1- Dance Saturday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Last Saturday, I watched the first episode of Strictly Come Dancing, 2019! I can't believe how amazing each couple was. For week 1, it was definitely like watching an episode at week 8.  In Kelvin and Oti's samba, Kelvin really maintained great technique, and I think that was what made him have the highest score of the day. For a male to be good at samba they must keep up with the beat of the music because in the samba, you really have to be able to move your hips. I think that was what he was good at doing and it was clear to see because he kept up with Oti. He also had excellent musicality and rhythm during his samba basic and walks. What I would correct is his hand placement, like Craig said because when he was exchanging arms with Oti, his hands were slightly splayed. However, other than that, his performance really looked professional and I think the whole audience was surprised by this dance. BBC Strictly Come

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

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
