My Summer Bucket List Part 2

  Hey Guys, Here is part 2 of my summer bucket list. It is almost August so my summer is almost half over! Anyways, without further ado, let's get started. 1. Choreograph something mature/ just in general - So I've been taking a little break from choreographing since May-ish, I have some ideas and I am choreographing something currently to the song "To Build a Home" by the Cinematic Orchestra. I also have an idea for a post about choreography. 2. Discover myself - My goal is that by the end of the summer I can know myself a little bit more. I want to eat healthier, be a lot more confident with my style and myself,  be a bit more flexible and discover new ways of moving my body through dance. 3. Cook every week or almost - So I've cooked almost every week of the summer so far and I really want to continue it for the rest of the summer. It gives my parents a break from cooking as well. 4. Spend less time on Youtube - I watch a lot of Youtube and I...

My Summer Bucket List - Part 1

 Hey Guys, Today I will be sharing my summer bucket list! My last day of school was on June 28th, I haven't really done much so far and it's been really really hot. But I have some great plans to do before school starts back up again in September. My mom actually inspired me to do this post because she asked me for some things I want to do over the summer, thanks Mom! I will be giving a brief explanation for each thing. Without further ado, let's get started with part 1. 1. Do another ropes course - I did a ropes course last year up at my cottage and it was really fun, I would love to do another one, the one I did on a school camp trip recently was terrible. I want to do either the same one as last year or a different one. 2. Go shopping at Claire's - I don't have a Claire's store that close to where I live and I could of only gone on weekends during the school year. I also have gift cards, so that's another reason to go. 3. Go to a local farmer...

Announcement!

Hey Guys, I will have a normal post soon, but I just wanted to say that near the end of the year I will be changing the name of my blog. The Dancing Tween just doesn't fit me or this blog anymore, I have a few ideas but I have not decided on one yet. Maybe there will be a poll in the future. Also I will probably make a blog button and have a button page, the new name of my blog will be on the button. I hope you have a fabulous Mother's Day, Dancing Tween See you soon!

What's in my ballet/dance bag!

 Hey Guys, Happy Easter! Today I will be posting about what's in my dance bag. I am taking ballet, jazz and contemporary this year and this is my ballet bag, I don't use it for anything else. With all that aside, let's get started. First, let's start with my dance bag itself. It's from Claire's and I bought it a while ago, the pins are from Michael's, I got them over the summer. There's a separate little pocket on the inside that I have Kleenex, a nail file and my bun kit stored in. The yellow sheet is is something I did in ballet class of things I'm going to improve on and other things. My ballet shoes are canvas Angelo Luzlo brand, one pair I use as spares and one pair I use for class. The syllabus I am taught is the RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) syllabus and it includes something called "Character" that is like Folk dance from a different European country each level. This year it's from Poland, if I remember cor...

Book Review: The Secret of the Old Clock

Hey Guys,              Long time no see. Today I will be doing a book review on Nancy Drew: The Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keene. I recently read this book and I really enjoyed it. Fun fact: My mom found 8 books in this series at a thrift store, two of those books were the book I am reviewing today. So without further ado lets get started.           This book is #1 in the series and if you wonder what the cover looks like just google "Nancy Drew" and it will come up in images. This is the revised version published in 1959 by Grosset & Dunlap. It's 20 chapters and 180 pages long. This book did not have a summary blurb any where on the cover or at the front of the book.         The main character in the book is Nancy Drew. Characters that appear a lot in this book are Mr. Drew, Hannah Gruen, Allison and Grace Hoover, the Topham family and Judy, Edna and Mary Turner. T...

Short Stories

Hey Guys, Long time no see! Happy holidays! I have been busy for a while and now that it's winter break I can blog more. I probably won't be following a posting schedule so my posts will be at random times on random days. I might, might  do a Christmas gift haul so stay tuned. Without further ado lets get started. Today I'm going to share two short stories I wrote doing a prompt a day. I wrote these stories on the 20th and 21st of December. I got these prompts from the seventh sanctum writing prompt generator linked  here . Enjoy!  Story 1: Prompt: The river is her friend. We never really understood Sadie. She was just different. I never really understood her until we became friends.  Sadie was only at school Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We never knew why. Sadie was alone all of the time, I was her only friend or so I thought. Sadie approached me on a gloomy Monday morning. "Rory, meet me after school down by the river. Don't not come." she said and...
