This was a long journey I learned a lot with out this 20 percent project I wouldn't even think of revisiting dancing and wanted to take it farther places. So this was a fun experience and we got to meet so many cool people and it was such a great time. Now I don't think we will ever completely stop dancing. We already have our schedule set up for summer so im excited. This is definitely be something we want to do for a long while. We learned so much. Im actually really happy we decided to keep doing this. We have came so far. im proud.

So much happened. The video we worked hard on stopped working, then I had to pay for it so it would go and it would be high quality. And after I went and put money on my credit card and bought an account to be able to upload the video , it was still slow! This was so frustrating and made me kind of mad. So the next day we woke up extra early for school to practice and going over what we wanted to say. Then guess what!! My brother left , without even letting us know. and everyone was at school already. So we started walking it took 45 minutes because I live kind of far. And we eventually got to school at around 8:30, so late. We were so disappointed because our video didn't work either, it kept freezing.

This week we focused on putting the video together, or at least starting to and that was a good idea. We had a chance to sit down and learn how to use the program and edit all the clips either we took or the studio sent to us. We are not quite finish yet but its pretty close to looking complete. It took a lot of time and learning to finish it. We kinda spent way to much time editing and filming because Brittney is really camera shy and couldn't focus. But we finally got close enough to finish. So that was good.

All thanks to Matt Stefania for helping me and Brittney. The Choreography is amazing, we did songs like 2 on by tinashe, problem by ariana grande, wiggle by Jason Derurlo, and lots more well show you guys in the video we make about the project. It will be really cool. A lot of the choreography  is really hard but you guys could learn it with a lot of practice and determination. Then again it is a lot easier when some one is teaching it to you. All the dancers were an amazing help they kept me motivated and I didn't want to give up.

This week we did not do much we just took a break from all the work we have been doing with getting the project. And we contacted a lot a dancers and people to help us along the way of this project. So pretty much all we have left to do is the video and editing it and getting more clips for it to look really good when we present it for you guys. I hope everyone really enjoys it because we are putting a lot a lot a lot of hard work into this. The video will consist of choreography and interviews and different clips of us dancing learning and teaching people. And maybe some pictures of the people we met along the way. We got a chance to meet a lot of Dancing with the Stars and Americas best dance Crew people so that was nice. Good experience.

   So I got a chance to catch up with one of my older family friends. She is a dancer.. Well not so much anymore because she is a lot older now. But she taught me a lot about following your dreams. She was one of Michael Jackson's dancers back in the day, she's also in the smooth criminal video which is pretty cool. I don't think I will ever be as good as her, but she definitely inspires me. I also got a chance to go by a new studio in Santa Monica, since the project is coming to and end i am just staring to wrap up everything and all the dances. I haven't gotten a chance to catch up with Brittney and dance with her but when i'm in LA on the weekends i just go over there myself since i'm over there already. Hopefully we'll go together one last time.

   This week was very busy, not a lot of dancing was done. But I did learn what style of dance a lot of people like. When I was in West Los Angeles this past weekend with a few of my model friends, Sofia, Isabella , and Bella they told me they like to do either Hip-Hop or Jazz. I agree, those are both my favorite types of dance. Same with my cousin and a few of my other friends. So now im starting to narrow down the styles of dance that people favorite. Next I am scheduling another class with Brian and Scott Nicholson and I also want to do one with Olivia "Chachi" Gonzales and or Ian Eastwood before the project needs to be done hopefully. If they are not in town, I will at least dance with Brian and Scott again & maybe record them.
