The Lab Dance Group “World Of Dance” Performance Review

Lilynator — Fri, 01 May 2020 17:01:26 +0000

Hello Everyone! Today we are going to be reviewing a performance from “The Lab” dance group. They performed this routine on the popular dance show, World Of Dance. I thought that this would be a good way to lift the spirits of all of the dancers that can’t wait to get back to the studio. Without further ado, let’s watch the video and start reviewing!

The first thing that I noticed when I watched this performance were the facial expressions of the dancers during this routine. The dancers really got into character and were very spunky and confident. The use of facial expressions drew the judges in and enhanced the excellence of the routine.I noticed that at the beginning of the routine the use of their arms drew attention to the desk. This was great choreography because it utilized the prop and explained the setting of the dance. Just like facial expressions show the mood, props show the setting.

The Lab dance group also used synchronized dance movements and changing speeds to add flair to their routine. They changed the speed of the dance from fast to slow to give the dance somewhat of a slow motion effect. The choreography complimented the music. The part where the desks were turned over while the bass boomed was exquisite! The judges actually jumped out of their chairs! Overall, this routine was wonderful and I have no major critiques for The Lab dance group.

During this quarantine I encourage all of you to stay fit and keep dancing. Maybe even choreograph something of your own! If you have any suggestions for what I should review next please comment them down below or on the Twitter page. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Stay tuned for a dance conditioning post that is coming soon.

How To Radiate Confidence Even When You Are Quaking In Fear! :)

Lilynator — Sun, 10 Nov 2019 20:38:48 +0000

Hi Everyone! Sorry I didn’t post last week, unfortunately I had a mild flu and I was too sick to touch the computer. Girls, It’s that time of year again, Drill Team Tryouts! I’ll be the first person to let you know that I am beyond nervous for these tryouts. I really, really, really want to make this team. I have been training for so long and I am so ready to dance on the dance team. Girls, I have been told that I radiate confidence, but just know that most of time I am shaking in my boots. (That’s A Fancy Way To Say That I Am Quaking In Fear!)

Last year, when I auditioned for the dance team at the very last minute before I started to dance I completely lost my nerve! I ended up slipping and forgetting steps because I doubted myself and my abilities. This year I am determined to let my confidence shine through! Girls, in order to radiate confidence you have to be confident. I know that it sounds obvious but this is a key concept that is often overlooked. Below I will add a list of things that will help you to radiate confidence even when you are scared.

How To Radiate Confidence ( Even When You Are Petrified!)

Smile
Walk With A Straight And Confident Posture
Allow Yourself To Laugh
Relax Your Face
Think About A Time When You Were Happy, Confident, And Determined
Read This Website
Encourage Others

Well Girls, that’s all that I have for you today! I just wanted to share some advice that will hopefully help you the next time that you do something that requires confidence. If you have something that you are anxious about please don’t be afraid to leave a comment. I love to hear from all of you!

Happy Holidays,

Lilynator

Why Having A Healthy Self Image is Very Important(especially in dance!!)

Lilynator — Thu, 08 Aug 2019 22:18:55 +0000

Hi Everyone! Today we are talking about having a healthy self image. As a dancer myself I know that this can sometimes be hard. As dancers we usually strive for perfection and aren’t very tolerant of imperfections. This can be a good thing but when it comes to having a healthy self image it should really be avoided.

Many times as girls we think that we are never good enough, but what we don’t realize is that we are priceless. By that I mean that as human beings we are unique and no two people are the same. We should always value ourselves no matter how we look or what others think about us. What you wear doesn’t matter, what matters is how you feel and your happiness!

When we go about our daily lives we should be happy in our skin and make sure that we don’t compare ourselves to others. This is important because no one can appreciate you more than you appreciate yourself. When I say that I mean that you should always be happy with who you are regardless of what others may think or say.

Don’t be your own worst enemy, instead be your own hero! With this information in mind, make sure that when you see someone struggling with their self image you encourage them and pass this information along. As young girls and teens we should value ourselves more. The best way to change for the better is to work on improving one day at a time.

Sooo….It’s Finally Thanksgiving Break!!!

Lilynator — Sun, 18 Nov 2018 03:41:08 +0000

Yay!!! It’s finally Thanksgiving Break!!!!

Hi Everybody!!! As all of you already know it’s finally Thanksgiving Break!!! I don’t know about you but….I’ve been waiting for this break for a very long time. But now that the break is finally here I am kind of low on ideas of what to do for fun. I already know that some of you reading this right now are shaking your heads in disappointment at me, and yes I know that I should be able to do something worthwhile with my time over this break but….while I wait for family to come to my house I decided that talking to y’all is so much better than whatever else I could have possibly planned. As the majority of y’all already know I am a dancer and that dance is my passion,so I just have to spill the tea. A huge opportunity has come along for me at my school and that is the chance to join the school’s Drill Team In other words I would be joining the dance competition team!!!! But…I have to audition first and cross my fingers that I get to join the team,so please cross your fingers as well that I join the team!!!?I would appreciate it Times Ten( a lot). Let me tell you some details about tryouts for the Drill Team.

Details

The tryouts take place two days after thanksgiving break(so I have to go easy on the turkey this year?)
I need my right splits,callipso,and double pirouette(Jazz).
I am going up against about 67 girls and only a few spots are open on the team!!

I wish that I could say for sure that I’ll make the team but…I’m up against some pretty phenomenal dancers.? So if I don’t make the team this time I will practice even harder and tryout next year!! Positivity is the best thing right now. Guys,please please please cross your fingers for me and wish me luck.Thanks so much, I love you guys!!!

What Weekend?!!?

Lilynator — Sun, 11 Nov 2018 02:59:55 +0000

Hi Everybody! This has been a hectic week for me.And if your lives are anything like mine you can probably relate when I say that my schedule is so busy that I barely have any free time. This is especially relatable if you are an athlete of any kind (including dancers) or if you are very involved in your school and after school activities. That brings me to the title of this post…”What Weekend?” I think that it is very funny that all of us spend the majority of our week waiting for the weekend but when the weekend finally comes we are working just as hard as we work in school if not harder. Super ironic,Right?? As much as I love school and after school activities,at the end of the day I am still human and BELIEVE ME I need rest. When I don’t get enough rest, by 2nd period in school my brain is already dead and I pretty much can’t think at all. You should see me in geometry class, if I’m tired in that class it’s bad news because I am taking the advanced geometry class. Bye,Bye Average!! Guys I’m warning you I’m about to sound like your parents and your doctor at the exact same time…ready for it?….here we go!! You need sleep to function properly! Please stop going to bed at midnight it’s not the best for your well being at all!!

So…What Do I Put In My Dance Bag Again?

Lilynator — Sat, 06 Oct 2018 22:29:38 +0000

Having an overstuffed dance bag is common with dancers, but doctors and dance teachers are starting to say that the extra weight is bad for you. Both in the studio and outside of it a heavy dance bag can impact you. Let me help you by sharing these tips.

Extra’s

1.Extra leotards and tights(or whatever dance clothing is required for the dance class)

2.Extra ponytail holders,bobby pins(hairspray is optional)

Snacks

1.Water

2. Nuts, or pretzels(any dry non-sticky snack)

Equipment

1. Theraband(resistance band)

2.Small ball(for rolling out feet and tight muscles)

3.Mesh bag(holds dance shoes/airs them out so that your dance bag doesn’t stink)

Bring Extra Clothes and Wet Wipes(you don’t want to come out of the studio smelling stinky and wearing a leotard.)

Just Remember that the key to having a light dance bag is to only pack what you need and not to worry about the “What If’s” they are usually worst case scenario.

Why Pizza Isn’t The Greatest Food For Dancers And Athletes.

Lilynator — Sat, 06 Oct 2018 16:28:21 +0000

Okay, Let me just start by saying that I LOVE PIZZA!!! I love how yummy it is and how convenient it is, but if you were to take a slice of pizza and squeeze it between two napkins you would see the amount of oil and grease that you consume in just one slice!!! As you all know, when you are weighed down with too much junk food or grease you have a hard time functioning in your sport,so sadly before class we can’t hunker down in front of the TV with Papa Johns pizza and their famous garlic sauce and EAT am I right? So, I’m just saying that before you have your “Back To The Future” movie watching marathon you might want to consider a salad bar first, because think about it, is a ballet class or a practice session where you can’t train due to indigestion really worth it? I mean I’m no Albert Einstein, but I do know a few things when it comes to dance and other sports.

Thank You for reading my post and don’t forget to visit Live Life The Girl Way for more facts,fun,training,help,………….and of course HUMOR!!

The Epic Journey

Lilynator — Sat, 06 Oct 2018 15:58:30 +0000

Hey Everybody, Hello and Welcome to Live Life The Girl Way!! I am very pleased to announce that I am back with more advice and Information to help you with dance!!! As you all know beginning dance can be very stressful especially if you begin late!!! All of the new vocabulary and tips are enough to make your head spin not to mention the mental overload. But don’t worry I am here to help you succeed because remember whatever you put your mind to you can achieve!!! Sometimes it feels like you’re under a giant MICROSCOPE but that’s not necessarily true. Although you may feel different than the other dancers its just nerves. The most important thing is to TAKE YOUR TIME and NOT TO RUSH, if you rush and don’t take the time to perfect your technique it can really backfire because then you ACTUALLY won’t be as good as the other dancers and that could really hurt you and possibly your career. It’s better to work hard and progress naturally so that when you get to the advanced levels you really excel!!! Just remember that you can do anything that you set your mind to, and that once you get started nobody can stop you!!!!

Thank you everybody for visiting Live Life The Girl Way and remember to come back for more Fun, Advice, and Girl power!!! WATCH OUT WORLD BECAUSE HERE WE COME!!!
