My inaugural blog post. Oh my...
I've never been that good at blogging before, but I've also never had a themed blog before either. Here's keeping our fingers crossed!
Hopefully this blog will be able to help you out in your quest to get new ideas for dances, make-up, music and really anything else dance related. Now, you might be wondering why I should have a dance blog as opposed to a baking blog or something else. Well, I have been dancing since before I could walk. Over the years, I have tried my hand at as many different dance styles as I could. This includes (but is not limited to) ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical jazz, contemporary and hip-hop. I have experience teaching dance, mostly 3 - 5 yrs ballet & tap, but I've also taught jazz and hip-hop to kids as old as 16. As if that wasn't keeping me busy enough, I also design and make costumes for my current dance studio and help with props and other backstage stuff during shows.
So far, on my travels online, I haven't found that many really good dance help blogs. There are (of course) tons of blogs out there and I certainly haven't had the time to look at every single one of them. I feel that there should be some blogs that have advice for what songs to use, where to get some good ideas for choreography that isn't just watching So You Think You Can Dance, as amazing as that show is. The main purpose of this blog is to be a resource for those who teach kids of all ages. Somewhere where you can get ideas for different aspects of dance in one place.
I hope that this blog will be able to serve its purpose well. If there is ever anything you have questions about or want to request to see on the blog, comment! I want to help!
Your V.I.D (very important dancer)
