My Year as an XDW Ambassador

My Year as an XDW Ambassador

I never knew my year as an XDW Ambassador was going to be fun, but I never expected it to be like this! Well, first it started off as making a video on why I want to become an ambassador. Once I did that, I ended up becoming an ambassador and I was so filled with joy. I instantly knew I wanted to help with all the classes I could, so I ended up helping demonstrate/assist 8 classes. I also worked with the 2 other ambassadors to make a fundraiser for the DreamWorks Foundation.

It's Good to be Prepared!

Admit it - there’s been a time in your life where you have not been prepared. Whether it be for a test or a presentation. Today, I'm going to talk about the importance of being ready to take dance exams. I felt it would be a fitting subject because I'm having a mock exam soon. THEORY So, for every style of dance there is usually theory or a syllabus. As a dancer, this theory should be your life until you take the exam. In fact, you should know it before and after. You will th

Dance for DreamMakers

Who doesn't love a good party? Better yet... a party with pizza?! The XDW Ambassadors are putting on an awesome Valentine's pizza party, "Dancing for DreamMakers."

Performance Perspectives

Hello everyone! Welcome back to this month's blog. This month we are going to be talking about performances. Last month, I had two dance performances: 1) Windsor Santa Claus Parade 2) The Grinch That Stole Christmas Personally, I think performances are a great way to really get out there. They can also be very beneficial to you as a dancer as it can test your memorization skills, introduce you to new styles of dance that you never heard of/seen before, and can make you a lot

Competitive Dance - Pros & Cons

Like anything, there are pros and cons to being on a competition team (of any kind, really). These are the pros and cons from my view as a dancer. We will start with the cons: 1) When you are on competition team, you will have to miss some of the events that you usually do each year (friends' birthdays, parties, events etc.) 2) You might go home one day after a tough rehearsal and be so frustrated with yourself that you cry. It gets tougher as you get closer to competition, b

4 Tips for Traveling

For the month of December, I went on a trip to India and I knew that I needed to practice so that I don't lose any skills because it takes a long time (and hard work) to earn them... and losing them would be bad. Here are 4 ways that I maintained my skills while in India: 1. Find a right time It's important that, when you set a goal, you find a time that's best for you to practice. For me, I practiced at 7:00 PM everyday doing stretches for my splits. I knew that I would forg

Be Prepared

Studying dance in your off time is important because there is lots of technique and certain ways to do things. For ballet, you need to study theory, technique, etc. and to be able to execute all the exercises in order to take an exam and advance to the next grade. Practicing is important for extra performance opportunities like parades, shows/productions, and recitals. When it comes time to perform on stage, you can see who has or has not practiced. When you practice you make

Goal Setting for Success!

There are so many things dancers want to achieve. Nailing that perfect pirouette, getting down in your splits, elevating your developpé height. Instead of mulling over why you haven't achieved this or that yet, consider this; have you been setting goals for yourself? Setting goals are key to so many areas of your life - not just dancing. However, your goals need to be carefully thought out and planned for success. Telling yourself you are going to get your splits perfect in a
