An inspirational dancer I wish to talk about, Misty Copeland- Dance Saturday

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

 There are so many amazing dancers out there but today I would like to talk about just one and I'm sure many of you have already heard of her. Misty Copeland. She was the first African American woman to be promoted to principal dancer in ABT's 75-year history. What's even more amazing was that she only started ballet at the age of 13. Despite her mother fighting legal custody issues over her, Copeland became an award-winning dancer and was working with other professional dancers. Whilst legal proceedings to do with her mother were dropped, Copeland moved home to study with a new teacher who was a former ABT member.

 Copeland was born in Kansas City, Missouri but was raised in San Pedro community of Los Angeles, California. Her father, Doug Copeland, was of German and African American descent whilst her mother Sylvia DelaCerna is of Italian and African-American ancestry and was adopted by African American parents. She was the youngest of 4 children from her mother's second marriage. Growing up, Copeland didn't see much of her own father. Copeland began her ballet studies at the age of 13 at the San Pedro Dance Center. After 3 months study, Copeland was en Pointe.

 Have you ever heard of Misty Copeland? 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

"They shall not grow old,as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them,nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them." To the 60 people that died during WW1 in my village. Many of them were either buried in the location that they fell or were missing and never found.  "Their name liveth for evermore." Rudyard Kipling From my trip to the Somme and Arras. In Flanders fields- John Mccrae In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses,row on row, That Mark our place; and in the sky The larks,still bravely singing,fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived,felt dawn,saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved,and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not slee

My goals mood board- Lifestyle Monday

Made using Canva. Photos are from Pixabay.  Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, I've been feeling really inspired lately for some weird reason so I thought it would be a good idea to brain dump my main future goals in a mood board. There are a lot of pictures of dancers as I would really like to be a dancer (specifically in ballroom, contemporary/jazz, and hip hop). There is also a picture of tickets since I would like to dance in a big theatre production. I would also like to perform again in the Royal Albert Hall since it was such an amazing experience so there is a picture of that. As well as this I put general pictures of London since I want to work there and live there in the future. I would also like to visit New York during a Christmas because of the massive Christmas trees. At some point I would like to be on TV maybe to become a Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer or perhaps a judge since that is my favourite show. As well as being

Hello Jujubears and welcome to another blog post, Today, I am going to be doing something a little bit different. I've been on the hunt for something new to study. I looked up 'interesting things to study' and it came up with: How to pickle your own vegetables (?!) Learn a new language ( I am bilingual) Learn to code (been doing enough of that already) Find out more about microbiology (too complicated) I just wanted to find out more about a particular subject. So then I searched up 'interesting SUBJECTS to study'. It came up with this: Mathematics (I'm on holiday)  English (again, I'm on holiday) Complete study and practice of geography ( again,again, I'm on holiday) So I thought. I've been really enjoying history. Let's search up some fun history topics to study. It came up with this. Korean war (meh) Franco-Spanish war (mmh) The Crusades (maybe later) Holocaust (interesting, I've been studying that) So as y
