Ballet class..

On Sunday I travelled into London, with my dance teacher, and 3 other pupils from the school aswell as me. We had all brought new leotards so we would look presentable, and made sure our pointe shoes and ballet tights where fresh! We met at 9 o'clock, and then set off. The class started at 10.30 and it was 2 hours long so by the end of the day I was exaughsted. In total there where 8 girls dancing, and then all the teachers would sit and take notes. It was taught by Miss Fish who is an amazing teacher with the way she teaches moves, and notices things. We started off with basic warm ups such as like walking around the room and running around the rooms going through our feet to make sure they where warm before we put our pointe shoes on. We then went over to the ballet bar and just had a simple warm up doing the usual stuff to get you ready for a ballet class.

After around a 30 minuet warm up it was time we put on our pointe shoes. We then just did simple things to warm our shoe up, and once we was ready we started the pointe class. It was very simple but so hard and we spent ages on the bar and talking about how each of our feet moved etc for the teachers to see. The exercises we where doing gradually got harder and harder as the class went on and we then moved into the centre of the room, and did stuff from there. I found this hard but I kept myself strong so I wouldnt fall off as we where being rushed so we felt the pressure was on! Miss Fish then gave a talk to the teachers and students which was very good to listen to as she gave us such good advise!

After this we had a christmas buffet full of yummy foods and drinks! We then set off home and had a peaceful quiet journey as we where all so tired, and just wanted to relax.

Go Grease Lightning..

On Sunday I went into London with my sister to see Grease. Every year my nan takes me, my sister and all of my cousins to a westend performance. We went to the afternoon performance and afterwards we went out for dinner to an Italian resteraunt. The performance was AMAZING, the dancing was great so energetic and they would never stop moveing! The acting and singing aswell was so amazing, I just wanted to get on the stage and join in. There costumes and scenary really set the atmosphere for Grease. There voices where so powerful and strong, aswell as the acting made me really feel like I was invloved in the performance.

My favourite charecter was one of the backing dancers as he was such an amazing dancer, and he put so much energy into his moves I couldnt keep my eye off of him! My favourite scene was the car scene as it was so well done, and they put so much effort into what they where doing! The car looked real and to get that scene like the film was so hard so I didnt think they would be able to pull it off but they did! Before I went I didnt think they would be able to match the theatre performance to the film, but although they where so so different they where both so well done! I would happily watch it again, as there where proberly so many things that I didnt see. It also is great fun to watch and really puts you in a good mood!

T4 stars 2010!

On the 21st November I went up to London to Earls Court with Charlotte, Alice and Harley to go and watch T4 stars. It was amazing, we arrived at around 9 o'clock and arrived to see a MASSIVE que. Which we joined and stood at standstill unill 11 o'clock when they opened the doors for the event to start. Amazing acts where performing such as Tinie Tempah, Pixie Lott, Olly Murs, Game Over, Ndubz, The Saturdays, Professor Green, JLS, The Wanted The Script, Example, Alexandra Burke, Jason Durulo and many more fantastic stars! It was amazing. We walked around the venue as the actual concert didnt started until 2 o'clock, and great things where going on for example a massive slide, celeb disco, and many more fun things. When the event started we where on our feet non stop, dancing and singing all night! I didnt want it to stop as I was having so so so much fun.

I didnt have a favourite as they where all great in their own ways. The inbetweeners where there aswell as Tom Dailey and Gok Gwan. We where given glow sticks which we waved around when the performers where on stage! The acts really got the audience involved everyone looked as if they just wanted to jump onto the stage. I would happily go next year.
