Me and my friend were attending the same dance classes for almost a year. We both love it, so we talked about it everyday, showed each other cool videos that we found on youtube or rented studio space together just for fun. It changed when she suddenly had some kind of a breakdown. She started telling me that she would never be good enough and everybody is so much better than her. She used to enjoy dance, but she decided not to do it anymore. It made me notice how easily people give up things they love just, because they think they're not enough. I understand why it happens, we all have moments like that, however, I don't think quitting is a good option.

    If you dance just for pleasure, you're absolutely right - ignore failures and just keep going. But if you do it because you hope to be the best, to win, to achieve something, then failure can be very demotivating.

Contemporary dance combines many different styles of dance including jazz, modern, lyrical and ballet. The moves in contemporary might seem weird sometimes, but in my opinion it looks very interesting and I enjoy watching it.  This style, unlike ballet doesn't have strict rules. Instead of graceful moves, precision and perfect technique you will see a lot of improvisation and floor work. Probably the most important part of contemporary is freedom of movement which allows to express feelings. The choreography is fluid and it can be performed to different styles of music, it can be fast, slow or whatever the choreographer wants. It's often done barefoot and the feet don't have to be always pointed like in ballet, they might be for example flexed. Contemporary dance was developed in the 1950s as a direct and opposite response to classical, strict rules of ballet technique, it became very popular in the U.S. and Europe.  Because of its versatility, it is used in a variety o...

About a week ago I went to the cinema with my friend to see a new horror film. It turned out to be quite bad and most of the scenes that were supposed to scare us were so stupid that it was funny. Some people were laughing quietly, however, there were these 2 girls who apparently wanted to show how cool they were by laughing so loudly that every single pearson in the room could hear them. I don’t understand why they went to the cinema instead of watching a film at home if they can’t stay quiet for 2 hours.

I am definitely a night owl. I enjoy staying up until 3am and waking up at 11. On weekdays I try to go to bed a bit earlier in order to wake up at 6:30. However, when I have to be at school at such an early hour I am always exhausted. I’ve noticed that I don't feel any difference between sleeping 4 and 6 hours. I know that lack of sleep could affect my health, but in my case it's impossible to feel well rested after waking up at 6:30. In my opinion it's way too early to start lessons at 8, it should be at least 9. I'm sure that this extra hour of sleep would help us all focus on the lesson better.
