Summer Dance Practice Tips!

Hi guys,

Sorry I haven't been posting for 4 weeks. I have had the end of dance, school and my family went on vacation. So with all that aside, let's begin. 

Today, I am going to be sharing some tips on getting summer dance practice in. My dance starts in September and ends in June so I have the whole summer off. I also start again most times a level higher. So here is some advice to help you  practice all summer break. 
1. Stretching and conditioning
  
 One thing you can do is stretch and keep your body strong. I own a yoga mat so I use it regularly to stretch and warm up if I am practicing, choreographing or doing improv. I am also doing pushups daily to work on strength. This is a good tip to boost your skills next year. 


2. Improv 

 I improv on a regular basis. If you don't know what improv is it's freely dancing to music, it's not choreographed. I find this helps me with musicality and feeling happy. It helps when I'm choreographing as well with coming up with moves. This is very helpful with practicing at home.

3. Camps and Intensives

Now you don't have to take these, but I like that it's basically a full day dance class. Last year at my studio I took a Hip Hop, Musical Theatre and Jazz camp. This year I am taking my first intensive, it's  in choreography and improv.

4. Just go with the flow

This is quite a normal thing for dancers and gymnasts alike, randomly doing a move. I do this a lot, mainly pirouettes and bridges. It's like practicing without thinking about it!


I hope these tips help you with continuing your practice over the summer.
See you soon,

Dancing Tween.

Book Review- To Kill a Mockingbird

Hi guys, Today I'm going to be doing a book review on the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Did I enjoy it?  YES! I really enjoyed reading this book, it was a good story and really made me think. This book is pretty thick and I read it starting in or around the month of January and I just finished on Tuesday. I really wanted to keep reading every time I put it down.  This book is a classic and was originally published in 1960. This book has two parts and is 31 chapters long.  This book uses a bad word frequently so if you don't understand or you're younger make sure you know that word is unacceptable. The Main Characters The main characters are Jean-Louise Finch (also called Scout)and Jem Finch. They appear the most in the book. This book was told in first person point of view. (Told by Scout) My Rating I give this book 4 and a half stars. It's a very good book to read, I truly recommend this book. I hope you enjoyed reading this book review. ...

N's Tips and Tricks for School Organization and Productivity

Hey Guys,    Since I go back to school in a month, for the entire month of August and into September I am going to be doing some back to school themed posts. I may even post twice a week. Today's post is all about productivity and organization. So without further ado let's get started! 1. Have a planner - I have a planner that I use to write down lists of what I need to accomplish almost every day. I had a planner for school, I didn't really use it though, when I did use it, it was quite useful. Here is my planner currently: It is a recollections mini planner from Micheal's, I do have to say I prefer the "The Happy Planner" planner because you can take out the pages. It's easier because I'm a lefty. You can get them at Micheal's. Here is the planner I am going to be using at school: It comes in a pack of 3 at Micheal's with 2 other notebooks. I will be using it to record my homework, events and activities. 2. Write...
