iPod Blog!!! [edited on computer]

Blog # 3 Hi guys! Sorry the blog is kind of late today. Saturdays are long days at dance. But today, as promised, I'll be showing you a video of one of my favorite hip hop dancers! But first, here's a cute video of two kids ballroom dancing. I'd actually like the second dance they did if it wasn't for the annoying camera guy! So here it is!

                                  


Next, if you're having trouble with any type of dance/acrobatic move, there's a YouTube channel called fitforafeast that might help. Fitforafeast was started by two girls named Sloane and Katrina who wanted to help prevent child obesity. They're from Canada and they are very talented dancers and acrobats. Also on their channel they put up performances, interviews, and other things that interest them. So if you're a dancer, check them out! www.youtube.com/fitforafeast
Here's one of their videos showing how to do an aerial.

So now I'm going to show you my favorite hip hop dancers! Her name is Simrin Player, she's 13 (I'm pretty sure), and she's a bgirl. I'm not sure about all of her background info but she was in a Justin Bieber music video and a Just Dance commercial. She's been on way more than that, but that's all I remember. But here's one of my favorite dances of hers. She's the one in the gray sports bra; the camera is centered in her most of the time. I dunno how else to describe her... she's the one in the thumbnail.

There are tons more to watch of her and I love every single one of them. So check out her YouTube page. It's called dplayer1611

TIP OF THE DAY Always warm up!! No matter how late you are to a class  make sure you're always warmed up. You can be badly injured if you're not, and we wouldn't want that to happen. Most dance injuries such as pulled muscles or torn ligaments happen because of improper warm up. Also, don't push too hard on you're stretching until your body is warm, so do jumping jacks or push ups even before stretching. If your teacher says just to skip warm up because you're so late (which shouldn't happen) ask if you can go to the bathroom or something because warm up is important!

Dance GOAL of the Week: Stretch each split for 1:30 minutes every day.

If you're all the way down already, put your top leg on a step. Don't push too hard.  How did last week's goal go? Today should have been your last day of releves! I'll admit, I missed a day. But I made it up by doing 200 another day so I'm good. I really want to know how many of you attempted this goal and if you succeeded! You can keep going if you want, because they really help. And if you made it through the week, you achieved something amazing! Well that's the end of the blog. I hope you enjoyed it. Wednesday we're going to have a real TV Chatter so be sure to read it. Love you all!
