A lot of people have told me that they have one split but not the other, or are very close to their splits but just can’t get there. Also people have told [...]
There has been an unusual influx of traffic on this site today, but I’m glad! I want to thank everyone for their comments–these help me become a better writer and inspire me to continue blogging. To all those that my blog has helped–I congratulate you. Thanks for reading my posts!
Leana & Alexus: Thanks for your [...]
Sorry for the long dormant period of this blog! School has been demanding, what can I say? But I will be trying to get some more posts in.
This is for those dancers that have trouble dancing “passionately”. Your dance instructors keep telling you that you lack passion, but how do you obtain it?

We always worry about what can go wrong, and often, one thing does go wrong because we’re [...]

Here’s how to do it:
1. Get a music cutting program
I’d recommend Adobe Audition, [...]
Sorry about not having the routine up. I thought that I could finish it by today, but I’ve had way too much homework and compulsory tasks. I’m hoping that it will be up sometime soon, but I can’t really say when. At this point, I have the music all mixed and part of the routine [...]
Marysue: Thanks for the comment! I’ll be creating some routines soon. Good luck with your team!
I love creating new routines, but I never really thought about putting them up on this site. I’m probably going to start creating some choreography (mainly drill, because that’s my strength). These will mostly be simple (good for try-out routines [...]
I know I write about consistent schedules a lot, and I can’t stress how important it is!
