How to create choreography

  1. Think about what style of dance you prefer. Then choose the music to match! (e.g. ballet would be more classical music, hip hop would be more r'n'b style music.)
  2. Once you've picked the music, if it's music to go along with the song then find the lyrics, if it's just music then try and find the piano music (or the music for some other instrument, although you don't need to do this it's just easier if you do).
  3. If you have lyrics then write down on a piece of paper one line (or two lines if the song moves fast from one line to the other). If you have the music then do the same but with a line of notes.
  4. Listen to the song/sing or hum it to yourself one or two lines at a time. Watch videos (youtube!) of people dancing in the style you want, take inspiration from that don't steal their moves and get inspiration from many different videos to create your own choreography. Write underneath each line the moves you have to do (I think you can write all mathematical etc. but I prefer just writing, for example: stomp with right then left foot...) and every couple of lines practice from the beginning with the music.
This may take a while but it'll be worth it and practice practice practice!

How to lose weight/have a healthy lifestyle!

So I found an exercise routine on YourCoffeeCorner.com the other day - '10 Days To Get A Sexy Bikini Body' and I thought I'd try it out. I planned a healthy diet and everything! I'm on day 3 right now so there's not much difference but I think even if the exercise routine doesn't make a difference my diet will - I'm being so much healthier than usual! Anyway here's the exercise routine and diet I'm doing:
(For the diet I haven't planned out each individual day I've just thought of what type of food you should be eating)

If you're aiming to lose weight then around 1500 kcals a day should be what your aiming for if you're just trying to be healthy then your GDA. Try not to eat anything in between the set meals - if you get hungry, don't worry, there's snacks! I based this on the fact that 5 small meals a day are better than 3 big ones.
Remember, before starting any exercise routine always talk to your physician (I think that's the right type of doctor?).

Diet:

Breakfast - A 25g bowl of cereal with 100ml semi-skimmed milk. (You can eat less or more kcals by changing the cereal) If you want you can have toast somedays but I'm sticking with cereal because I want to lose weight.

Lunch - A sandwich and some fruit. Add a cereal bar if you want more for lunch.

Tea - My mum cooks for me unless it's one of my cooking days so I don't really get to choose, just make sure it's nice and healthy. For me I never eat enough fibre in a day so every meal time I try to get as much fibre as I need.

Snacks - Cereal bars, try to limit it to 2 a day. Or you can buy a pack of Go Ahead Crispy Slice and limit it to 3 slices a day like me as the slices come in little packets of 3. If you're hungry after having eaten your max amount of snacks then eat fruit or vegetables as these usually don't have many kcals or fat in them.

Some days allow yourself a treat, such as a line of chocolate, but make sure the kcals and fat content doesn't go over the designated amount.
Write everything down that you eat in a day and what they include (kcals, fibre, fat, carbs, protein) to keep track.
