*I am not complaining. I love dance and I would have my schedule even busier if I could. I just want to show people how much work is put into our training. These dance classes are put on top of a 4day a week 9 to 5 very physical performing arts college course. I never get any breaks from my family who presume I'm lazy because I'm tired at home so I'd just like to show people its not what they believe. Dancers are the most hard working and unappreciated people in the world.

Dance Partners'...
My newest dance partner is nice. However, she seems to care about what her little clique think about her more than being my dance partner. Even though I proposed the idea of us being partners, as we are both very tall and it would be very hard for her to get a male counterpart, I am beginning to regret it. I took a risk, the major one being she is a trained Irish dancer. Irish dancers are very stiff and even though she has had some ballet, she can be quite stiff. Also she isn’t putting as much energy into the relationship as I am, I believe that partnering is 65% trust, how can she let me do lifts when she doesn’t trust me and how can I let her mount my back when I don’t trust her? I have tried to spend time with her but she seems to only want to do this when her clique are not around. In her clique, there is one other girl, a singer and a boy, an actor, the actor does not particularly like me and so neither does the singer so my partner’s loyalty is split, well it should be but it is clear where it lies. This feeds into more distrust. The funny part to me is that if I walked out of the partnership I would be on smooth sailing to another partner. However, my partner would be screwed, as I said before she is very tall for a dancer and most male dancers would look ridiculous beside her and find her impossible to carry. I however do not. Therefore, her snubbing really is not doing her any favours, except she is the only dancer I can be paired with in my college course. There is another female dancer in the year but she is strictly solo and hates partnering as she can’t handle lifts, mounts or even dips, so if I am stuck until September too. Is it worth risking it by telling her that if she keeps up her rudeness I will quite? Will she realize that loosing me will hinder her more than it will affect me? On the other hand, could I be reading into the whole thing and blowing it out of purporting in my mind? Is there anything I can do to make her want to work on our personal relationship?
Help!
Love,

Intro (The Dancing Blog)
Hey you guys, so I guess I owe all of my followers a huge apology for not writing in my blog in so long. I have been busy with college, internships and I recently sign a two-year contract with Mythology at the Basics ( http://www.europemyth.eu ) as a performer. So, I've been climbing my little ladder, but its no excuse for abandoning my blog here on blogspot and I hope you guys will believe me when I say it won't happen again. As you can see I have created a second blog, Dancing Angel, here I’m going to discuss my career, college, dance and anything that may relate so I hope you guys stay tuned and give me input, ask questions and request my view on a topic if you’d like to know. If you already did not know, I am a performing arts student and I will be heading off to university next year, God willing, to study dance and performing arts.
Anyway, here is the low down of what I have been doing recently. I am doing dance in college, but I have started hip-hop classes outside college and I am finding the choreography alien as I have not danced in this style in three to four years and am more adapt to lyrical or contemporary. However, I am going to keep at it. I returned from Poland on the thirty-first of October after a ten day training course with Mythology at the Basics, where I got to study under a hero of mine; Nicolai Veprev. In college now, we are preparing for the children’s play, The Big Book of Nursery Crimes, in which I play Jack from Jack and Jill. I am also the co-choreographer of the dance scene with my dance partner Danielle. This show will be showing in Dublin during the end of November to mid December and we are taking it to Swansea, Wales on the 2nd to the 4th of December. I have filled out my UCAS and I am just waiting for my reference to be completed before I pay for it. Through my UCAS I have applied to five colleges, four in London and one in Liverpool. All of the courses I have applied to major in dance and minor in physical theatre and drama.
Ok you guys that’s all I have for now. Please leave me a comment and say hello. I also have a vlog, face book, myspace and twitter, I will link them so you can check them out.
Sending out good vibes, so much love and positivity to you.
