Task 1d

Ok so I know I'm not doing the tasks in order but I will be putting the rest up here soon. Here's some photo's of the work I did in Disneyland Paris. Im sorry I don't have more pictures of other work I've done but my hardrive on my mac failed so I lost all my pictures.... lesson learnt. I'm hoping to try and dig some more photo's up eventually though.

Sorry for the wait.....

Hi guys. I just wanted to apologise for the lack of blogging, commenting and the amount of work I have put up on my page so far. I have been extremely busy with work and it doesn't help that I lost everything on my mac a little while back. Anyway enough of the excuses, from now on I am going to get stuck in and try to catch up with the rest of you.

My Professional Profile

I began my training at the Sharon Green Dance Academy (then known as the Ulla Academy of Arts) aged 5. My mum took me to my first ballet lesson thinking it would be just another hobby I’d get bored of but after years of performing in local productions, competing in festivals and passing many exams in I.D.T.A she and my family knew it was just the start of my career.

During school I spent most nights and weekends at my dance school. As well as my own classes I was assisting my teacher with the baby classes. As getting older and more experienced I started taking classes of my own under my teachers supervision, some of the kids in my class only being a year or so younger than me.

At the age of 16 I went to Stratford-upon-Avon College where I received a BTEC National Diploma in Performing Arts. I then went on to gaining myself a place at The Urdang Academy in London where I studied for 3 years, graduating with a National Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre. Throughout my time in London I trained alongside the likes of Flawless, Dean Lee assistant choreographer to Janet Jackson and Brian Freedman (choreographer of the X-Factor) as well as many other inspirational dancers.

After graduating I was asked to join the cast of Disneyland Paris where I played many roles as well as dancing in the parades and shows. Even though I had always enjoyed performing so much and still do I have decided to take a step back from it and pursue a career in Teaching dance. I am now working towards my Associate teachers exams in Ballet, Tap and Modern within the I.D.T.A branch. I am also about to start teaching Zumba classes for children right through to the elderly. 

Eventually as well as teaching in dance schools I would like to start teaching within the public and private school sector which is why I am now studying towards a degree. I’m hoping this degree will give me the final tools I need to take me that one step closer to my ambitions.

My Blog

I have changed the look of my blog about 3 times now. I think its important that it looks good. First of all I was trying to portray myself through the look, so I was going for quite a funky & vibrant look but then I realised this made the blog hard to read, messy and confusing. I have now made it slightly unique but with a slightly more professional look.

If you happen to take a look, please let me know what you think.

My 1st day of BAPP work

I've got to say its a beautiful day, so im sat outside, laptop on my knees and a drink by my side. Its my day off work today and my first day to really getting stuck into my 1st BAPP project. So iv been looking at other people's blogs and it looks like iv really got some catching up to do and im also pretty sick of looking at my empty page.... its time to get busy!!!

So I've started work on my CV. I first of ll thought I would just be doing a bit of tweaking but now iv done so much cutting, pasting and altering that I might as well of just written out a whole new CV to begin with but hey... its all about changing things for the better. Im not saying its perfect... far from it but I've made a start on a much more professional sounding CV. Hopefully this will be the start of a much more professional way of life for me.

Anyway it might take a while as I'm still terrible with all this techno stuff but hopefully I'll have my CV up and running very soon. I would love some feedback on it... be easy on me though guys. Haha.

Be back soon

My very first blog...ever!!!

Well guys,

It has taken me quite some time to get used to all of this and I thought I was pretty clued-up on all of this technology stuff... clearly not!! Haha. Well hopefully now I'm trying to get a hang of this, you'll be hearing a lot more from me.

Look forward to blogging soon,

Ebony
