Weblog 2. Tell about dancing

Saturday the 9th of march my dance group joined a dance competition.  It wasn’t the first time we joined. Absolutely not. Since january 2013 we join a serie of dance competitions whose the finals are the 23th of march. I’m so excited!
 Since september 2012 I teach showdancing to young girls in the age from nine till sixteen years old. I’m not the only choreographer. Together with four other young ladies we are working in a team of instructors. The staff has individual his own tasks. My task is to pay attention to the technical aspects of the dancing girls.For example  I observe their attitude. The girls are sometimes a little bit shy and lax in their dancing.  I can understand it. They are teenagers. But I want to learn the girls that they could take their beauty expression during dancing.
How my dance story starts. I was four when I started with ballet. Something my mother wanted. Now it means I am a danser for sixteen years. My Goodness! That is very long.   I started since I was a little girl. I was wearing a pink ballerinacostume and pink little balletshoes. After all it was quite cute.
At the age of twelve I chose to stop with lessons in ballet and to begin in lessons of modern and jazzdance. I think this kind of dancing was better for me because I think this kind of dance is more cool. Presentation during the dance is more important than the technical aspects. Furthermore I don’t realy have the right body of a ballerina. Moreover I am not lissome enough. At my fourteenth till my eighteenth I have practiced Hip-hop and streetdance lessons. That was a good experience for my self-confidence and timing.
I love to dance. I think I don’t want to make my money with dancing. I think that’s almost impossible. Teaching is something new of my dance experiences. I like it very much! If you are a choreographer you can imagine so much ideas. It is an amazing feeling if the dancers perform the dance like you want they do. A choreography is a product that you only can perform. A dance isn’t a touchable memory. I think that’s the pullback factor of dancing.

My first blog in English: Why do I love France.

Almost a year later I try to resume the art of blogging . Before I begun to write I have looked to my previous blogs. I wrote about Paris, the city of love.  After almost  one year I look back to the amazing trip to  Paris. I realize that time flies when you are having fun.
I really like to be in France. For the last five years I’m every summer in France. To the same city, like every year, Le Lavandou (the lavender). Le Lavandou is a small port town located  at the Mediterranean Sea. The city  has about 6000 habitants.
I really love this city because it’s small but compact. You could walk from the beach to the centre . This area is very old. It has a lot of steps in narrow alleys. The supermarket where I always do my shoppings  is hard by the centre of the city.
The special thing about the city is it has twelve beaches. Yes, you read it right, twelve sunny beaches. The years I come to Le Lavandou I haven’t view yet all beaches. That doesn’t means I haven’t been through a lot. I met my first love at one of my holidays, I have viewed many vets ( because my little dog was often ill during the holidays), I have viewed many concerts at the beaches and every year I celebrate Quatorze Juillet with the French people with a lot of fresh rosé
My passion of France is the beautiful language.  I speak French reasonably and I want to improve it.  The culture, French people are very proud to their culture and history. They will deliver it to foreigners. And the country itself, I love it! Every French angel has its own landscape. The Cote d’Azur is my favorite region of France. I love the flowers, the sky the blue sea. I understand why a lot of artists went to the south of France.
