My dance holiday


So the holidays are finally here! Two weeks off not having to get up at 6 in the morning. It's nice to have a lie in every once in a while. So far the holidays have gone by soooooo fast. I've been spending time with family and friends and just doing what normal teens do. This week I'm doing a dancer leadership course and can't wait to tell you all of the exciting things that I'm sure we'll be doing.

The dancer leadership course I'm doing is run by Ydance. Ydance is Scotland's national youth dance organisation and is really cool. The instructors are from Glasgow and have awesome accents, I love accents! We have already learnt so much and I know by the end of the week I will know so much more then I did before. 


We have already learnt a Bollywood and Swing dance which was really cool and Jumpstyle. Jumpstyle comes from Belgium, Germany and France. It's a sharp edgy dance style and as the name suggests it also quite jumpy. I really enjoyed learning this as it's not something I've done before. If you want to see what Jumpstyle is like I suggest you cheek out this video of some amazing dancing. 

I've also learnt great leadership skills and each day passes by so quickly. I have made so many new friends and so many new skills. I definitely recommend doing something like this if you get the opportunity to. The cost does vary for me it was £20 as the government are paying for some of it but the course at my dance school is £200 though. However my dance school does have dancers who go on to the west end so it is probably one of the more expensive schools in my area. One of my friend is doing the same course as me and is getting it for free so the price really does depend on where you go. It is really worth it as you get 5 days jammed pack with dancing and pick up so many new skills. It even looks really good on your CV.


bye for now
