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.

Oh dear another lockdown 😣 - Lifestyle Monday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, I feel like I've been making blog posts after blog posts after blog posts about lockdown for a long time now and I know I've probably mentioned the word lockdown quite a few times now but yes, the UK is entering another lockdown as of Thursday.  I feel like every time I say we're in another lockdown, I just have to take a deep breath beforehand to compose my utter frustration at life right now. Honestly, although I'm getting used to this lockdown situation, I'm also getting kind of annoyed by all these quarantines and lockdowns. I just want to be able to move around freely and not have to constantly worry about my proximity to the people around me. I think it's also particularly annoying because 3 weeks ago, I had to enter a 2 week self isolation period because 2 people in my school had tested positive for Covid-19. I also nearly didn't end up going to school for the final week before half term because I...

Getting back into dance + reviewing the Greatest Dancer 2020 - Dance Saturday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, It's January and I'm beginning to get back into the swing of things. I've started to stretch and practice in the morning. I'm particularly focusing on my tricks because I think that my dance teacher at school would like me to perform some in the street routine we're doing for the show. It's themed on Into the Hoods, which I did research on for my coursework. I published a section of it on my blog, if you would like to read it. Kate Prince, the artistic director of the production, is an interesting character and an inspiring person to read about so I would definitely recommend that you read my post on her because she has an interesting story. I think the show is one thing I'm looking forward to doing this year because since I'm in year 11 now, there's a lot more I'll be involved in and I also get to choreograph my own contemporary routine with some of my classmates so it would be a time to r...

Mother's Day!! :) - Lifestyle Monday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, On Saturday, as you may have seen on my Instagram, I went into Cambridge with my sister to go to Creams and to buy something for my mum for Mother's Day. Last year, we didn't do anything special because we don't really care that much about Mother's Day but I did help out my mum doing a few things. This year however, me, my sister, and my dad decided to step it up a bit and we decided to get her a present. Before we did that though, we went into town to go to Creams at Cambridge Leisure Centre. I think it's safe to say that having dessert for lunch is pretty awesome every once in a while. Lol. After an hour and a half drive on the bus, a very stuffy disgusting bus may I add, we finally arrived in town. We decided to walk the fairly long walk to Leisure because we thought it was a good idea to take some fresh air after that bus ride. Especially since my sister forgot her inhaler!  There wasn't a lot of p...

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Recently, I watched a video made by the YouTuber, Niomi Smart, on how she felt the internet has changed over the years. If you don't know the background of Niomi Smart, then she is basically a well-known and well-established YouTuber, who has been making videos about healthy eating, veganism, charity work, and ethical living for around 8 or 9 years now. She graduated from university with a law degree but she initially started a blog to voice her thoughts on fashion and to share her popular lifestyle content with her viewers and she then grew into a successful internet sensation. She was a part of the labelled "Brit Crew" group along with Zoe Sugg, Alfie Deyes, Joe Sugg, Tanya Burr, Jim Chapman, Louise Pentland, and Marcus Butler. She also released her book, Eat Smart, in 2016 and continues to co-run her healthy food box, Sourced Box, with Marcus Butler. With over 1.5 million subscribers on her channel, she continues t...
