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.

So last week was good. Even though Ariana couldn't make it due to last minute studio run. Understandable. But it was fun dancing with Brian and Scott. Even though it gets confusing because they are twins and look exactly alike haha. But this past Friday Ariana and Chris Brown were at IDA studio, which is in Hollywood. Since there new music video is coming out soon. Shh, its suppose to be a surprise though. Me and Brittney dance there too. This studio and Millennium are simular, the have the same concept and quallity. But IDM is more popular due to the fact that its the home of  "So you think you can dance" , "Americas Best Dance Crew" and "Dancing with the Stars" and also is a training facility for celebrities. Oh and me and brittney are so sorry for lacking on posting videos and pictures on youtube from the classes we took, well try and get that up by this weekend hopefully.

Today is the day. The day we go back to Millennium Dance Complex. Guess who is going to be there today? ARIANA GRANE and her back up dancers Brian Nicolson and Scott Nicolson. This is so cool. Hopefully everything goes good and we get to dance with her and them again. They are really cool fun people. Full of good vibes. I really look up to her. Hopefully one day we end up being one of her dancers. Because we are really close. She is Brittney's cousin. No one knows that though because we don't want anyone treating us different. Dance is a big part of my life, I really hope to stick with it. All I really want to do is inspire people to follow their dreams, no matter how big or small. Last summer was my first time dancing with them, its amazing I have been doing this since I was five. A few years ago I also danced with Zendaya.

GUESS WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? YOU GUYS ARE NOT READY FOR THIS. Me and Britney took a zumba class. It was so much work and its not really a dance class but it teaches you rhythm and it gives you a good work out defiantly. You'll be surrounded by a bunch of old ladies that really get into it, that's the only down part. haha. But if you are trying to find an easy way out of the gym, I advise that you make your way over to your nearest dance complex and sign your self up for a zumba class! Trust me you will love it. You will meet new people and hopefully you enjoy it and have as much fun as me and Brittney did. Its about an hour and its only five to ten dollars. So count your pennies! I will be waiting to see you all there. If you do go I hope you have as much fun as I did , its awesome!

So this is now our second semester in school. The dance videos will be coming soon. I have taken some classes already at different places. I took jazz before, this one takes a lot of flexibility, strength, and ability but it looks great all together as a routine. My favorite so far has to be hip hop and i doubt that will change. I love it. Its so much fun, I really recommend it. It lets you express yourself and feel free. The next one I want to try would have to be breaking i have always wanted to try that one. Hopefully my partner will be free soon so we can actually do this together because i have been going myself. So when we get together we will post some pictures and videos for you guys that you will hopefully enjoy. So look forward to that coming up soon.
