Dancing Contest!!!

Hey girls! Today I'm excited because going to tell you about a Dancing For Jesus contest that's coming up on March 31st. Keep reading because that will be a little further down. To start, I want to show you what a professional ballet teacher has to say about the age that it's too late to start ballet.

There you have it! It's never too late to start, it just depends on how far you want to take it. You're going to want to start ballet as early as possible to become a pro ballet dancer, of course; but that's mainly because the pro dancers are pretty young themselves. You might not even want to become a ballet dancer, which I don't. But maybe you want to do other styles of dance in music videos/ TV shows and stuff like that. For things like that, you're fine! You can start right now if you want to! As long as you have a good teacher and the passion to become amazing, you WILL! If you want to make it big some day, then do it! God will let you live your dream as long as you do it for Him. Yea I know. He's pretty awesome.

Dancer On The Go

So our lives get busy and it's sometimes hard to eat right when we're always on the go, but it's not impossible. There are tons of quick healthy options to buy at the store when you're shopping. I looked online at a bunch of choices, and found a nice variety. Here are my top 10 in no specific order:

10. Nuts (mix all your favorite types of nuts into a bag so you're not just eating the same nut over...and over...)

9. Carrots (baby carrots are great to put in a ziplock bag for on the go)

8. PURE bars (you can probably by these at Sprouts, I don't know. But they come in a few different flavors and are made from organic ingredients.)

7. Kashi granola bars (they are quick to grab, and have all the healthy ingredients you need.)

6. Fruit bag (I like to just grab a bunch of my favorite fruits like grapes, apples, strawberries, tangerines, blackberries, etc., and mix them into a bag to eat after a tough dance class.)

5. Plums (They're easy to take with you anywhere. Just wash one an put it in a bag. You don't need to cut or peel it at all.)

4. Cucumber (Is it weird that I love cucumbers? If you cut them into reasonable slices, they make a great snack, and make you feel refreshed!)

3. Low fat yogurt (look around at the store to find the best low fat yogurt for you. It's quick and easy to pack.)

2. Chips and fresh salsa (Its fun to make homemade salsa, just don't add too much salt. This snack is a little hard to take on the go, though.)

1. English muffins & hummus (Don't ask)

It helps going to the store with a long list of healthy things you're going to buy, and a very short list of guilty pleasure snacks. The rule is, you can add on to the healthy list, just not the guilty pleasures one. Hope this helped!


Let's take a quick breather with this cute video of twins dancing to Hey Ya.

Ok! Now I'm going to tell you about the contest. Remember the three lyrical songs I told you I like? Well refresh your memory by looking at my previous blog. Starting March 31st there's going to be a contest. Here's how you enter:

- Choose one of the 3 lyrical songs I posted on my previous blog.

- Choreograph a short dance to the song

- Take a video of you doing the dance

- Put it on YouTube/email it to me/ show it to me live

- Wait for your prize!


I'm going to have a raffle drawing for people who have entered the contest.
If you want to get...

1 raffle ticket- Submit a video

2 raffle tickets- Subscribe to Dancing For Jesus/ Pray LOVE Live and submit a video

3 Raffle tickets- Subscribe to both blogs and submit a video

4 raffle tickets- Subscribe to both, submit a video, and get a friend to enter the contest

If you submit your video and are already subscribed, you will automatically get 2 raffle tickets.

In total, three raffle tickets will be drawn.

Prize for entering is candy (it's on the short list I promise), but if your ticket is drawn, you also get choice between an iTunes gift card or a Bath and Body works gift card.

I obviously need at least 4 or 5 entries for this to work, and I only have a couple. So if you want to participate put your song choice in the comments. Remember it's just a very short dance; a verse and the chorus. Also, you're not being judged by your skills. In fact, you're not being judged at all! So go for it! Thanks you guys!

Dance GOAL of the Week: Show passion through your moves.

A lot of people go through the motions when dancing, but don't actually give the passion. Remember, dancing is a way to express yourself, so the audience should be able to feel what you're feeling through your movements and facial expressions.

Last week's goal went great! I tried my hardest to motivate myself to give my best effort! It was definitely difficult, but I know it will pay off in the long run.

Thanks for reading my blog! Just a reminder, you don't have to have your song choice in until March 31st, but you can post it any time before then! I'll be sure to show you lots of cool videos next time. Bye!
