This was the first time that my dance studio had ever competed as a group at shake the ground. At this competition we won multiple 1st in category and 1st overall. This was also the first competition where I had broken the top 10, placing 5th. I also beat the current Ms. Junior World Dance. This is a photo of all the awards we won as a studio.

Dance is something I’ve done for as long as I remember. It’s always been a constant and my life. A way of expression on stage that's indescribable. This season my solos have been scoring a lot better and I’ve been getting more scholarship opportunties. This year it has become more of an outlet for how I’ve been feeling and less of a place that’s just a room full of drama. I think that’s why I’ve been spending so much more time in the studio.

My aunt is a professional figure skater and in recent years, she has been trying to bring figure skating to light in the Philippines. Last year she was the first ever pair skater in the Philippines to compete in an international competition and win a metal. Currently, she is trying to become the first pair figure skater to compete in olympics for the philippines.

I think this shows how our society currently is reliant of social media. The effect that the reliability on social media that celebrities must have to be successful not only has negative effects towards mental health but also it effects on judges. It could negatively affect jobs if we become less reliant on social media as many people find jobs in being pr managers and social media managers. However with ever celebrity there is a team of people getting paid to help the celebrity and with less and less celebrities less people are finding jobs and there are less celebrities due to how hard it is to be found to be unique on social media.

These are the minis that I help teach at my dance studio. They’re all really funny and some of the sweetest girls ever, however sometimes they do not know how to listen and do what they are supposed to do so the teacher I assist makes me separate them.

“You Wouldn’t Last an Hour in the Asylum Where they Raised Me” Taylor Swift Trend

Many dancers are using this trend to expose the toxic dance teachers and toxic dance studios. The one that blew up the most was the one that Dylan Blackburn, one of biggest dancers in the competition community, posted about project 21 and Molly Long, who are the leading studio and choreographer in modern jazz trends. Dylan Blackburn no longer dances at project 21 and when she left it was a big shock as it always appeared she was on of the favorites. When she posted the video which is now taken down, everyone was shocked as shared some insight to why she left project 21.

Celebrities, Fans, and Parasocial Relationships

Celebrities’ Parasocial relationships that they hold with fans are becoming more and more concerning by the day. Celebrities have always been used as idols. They’re something people want to learn about and they’re people that children look up to. It’s almost their job to share pieces of their life, however in recent years it’s gotten worse. The biggest example of this is Taylor Swifts relationship with her fans. She’s always been communicative with her fans through her music. Yet this lead some people to believe that they know everything about her relationships, her struggles about her life, and how she would react to certain things. However, the truth is we do not know any of these people personally. We do not have the right to make up harsh rumors and stories about a person in what your interpretation of a song is. Because the truth is, is that is not what music is for. Music is for us to be able to relate to it so we can use it to make it feel something. Not to feel for someone that we do not know and most likely never will know.

This a meme made about a group of student at a school dance. In the video they are singing the song carnival by Kanye West. All of the student also have some form of nick name. “Blue Tie/Group Leader,” “Tomato Boy,” and “Red Dress Girl” are just a few.

I feel like in the past 2-3 years so much of my life has changed. Not only in how I look but almost everything around me. Firstly, I’m not longer in elementary school at Gator Run but I’m at American Heritage and I’m going into high school next year. I’ve been in multiple different friend group and I can never seem to stay in the same one for more than a couple months but my current friend group is okay and I think they might stick but I don’t think I’ll know. Gabby’s not our best friend anymore and I think I’m okay with that. Well, I’d be okay with it if she still talked to me a little bit but if she doesn’t want to talk I’ll get used to it. I’m finally in all the small groups I want to be in at dance and I’m on of best in my level but it’s not everything I wanted. Yes, the winning is amazing but I’ve lost all my friends at dance to it. Out of the good people its only me who gets backlash but I think that’s mainly because the people who were always better than me no longer are and its a hard pill to swallow to know your no longer the favorite but I think they should get used to it. I had to at least, on multiple different occasions. If I could do it, I think they could do it to.

As of right now my favorite movies have been romcoms. Mainly ones from the 90s and 2000s “10 things I hate About You,” “27 Dresses,” “How to loose a guy in ten days”, and “Hitch.” However there are other movies that are also my favorite that are newer, “Anyone But You,” mainly. Usually if they are just a cute romcom I will like them

An Ode to Dance”

A feeling I could never find everything

The steps before a stage

The feeling of nervousness creeps up

When the lights turn on and the music starts

The nerves don't fade immediately

However, as soon as you hear the build of the music

The clapping hands

And your teacher whistle your name

Everything else disappears, even the nerves

Suddenly you can be any character you want

A heartbroken lover

A girl with her friends

Someone fighting for their life

Suddenly your any place you want

A beach on Hawaii

The greatest city in the world

A place no even real

Every step feels closer to art

Arts and sports form one,

Becoming something you need a spark in your heart to feel

Then there’s the desire to destroy yourself

To gain this spark

A new trick, a new turn, a new leg

BAM!

One fail, falling to the floor

A bruise to the shoulder, one on the knee

Some days the pain is worse than others

It hurts to walk, it hurts to lay down a certain way

Yet, every time i'm asked

Would you ever quit

I laugh like its a joke because dance has become much more

A way to share every part of yourself

Making you completely vulnerable yet still cocooned in a blanket

When I laugh at their asks

They say I’m wasting my time

What I’m doing will never make me good

My body’s falling apart at a rate the will never see my through

I’ll never be able to dance for the Royal Ballet Academy

Or the Rockettes in Radio City

I’ll fail before I ever succeed

Maybe that’s the point

Because I’m being laid bare every time I step out

Maybe I’m trying to do that

So even with injury I can still have the sport nothing else is like

I love my mother, my father

Dance is an entirely different kinda love

A love that everything is sacrifice for a gift that may not seem of value

But to a dancer means everything single thing

When I see myself in the mirror at the studio

A week from the stage

I know that I’m coming home

To the thing I’ll never love anything else like

With a pain so sweet, a success so melancholy

A ticking time bomb

Where I could never stand to be around for so long

Yet never feel the feeling of love, pain, fear, and home

That’s why all my cards are on the table with dance

So I feel everything in bursts of what’s the best of it

Even if it will never be long enough

However, its better than the pain of not enough

D-Wasn’t gonna let you go there’s anyways

A- Bro, you literally went to princeton

D-Exactly why your not going to colombia

A-Not the riots?

D- No but also the riots

A-What’s your opinion on them

D- I think that they need to be stoped like honestly its an ivy league school, they should be teaching

A-Yeah, but are the riots not expected coming from an NYC school

D- That’s NYU, not colombia which is literally an ivy league university

A- okay, but what do you think

D- Well, I think obviously that the reinstatement of education is important, probably the most. However, I think the protesters come from an uneducated place about the topic from things said online.

I interviewed my mom

M-Mom

A-Abby

A- Thanks for talking with me today

M- Why wouldn’t I, I literally just drove you home from dance

A- Off topic, mom, AI, what are your opinions on AI

M- Like in schools or in general use

A- either

M- okay

A- also give it to me straight, dad took to long

M- okay, so when it comes to school, they definitely should be used to write essays and others thing. However, they could be used to make practices and can be helpful to teachers.

A-Agreed

M-When it comes to general use I think it can already be helpful, look at google, siri, alexa, etc. I do also think it could become negative in general use if we become to reliant one it

A- That’s, all I have to ask so we’re done.

M-Okay, bye!
