Welcome to my week 8 blog post. For the last 3 weeks my little group has been learning about Parris Goebel. We have been looking on websites and finding out information about her. We wrote reports and biographies about her. Every Tuesday and Thursday I went with Miss Spurrier and my group to do some learning in dance At the moment we are making up a dance. We are trying to make it like Parris's dancers with Hip-Hop and Polyswagg in it. I have been enjoying this experience and I hope you enjoy it. Please Comment.

Here is my report I wrote.
Introduction

She already has an impressive CV which every professional dancer would love to have. 6 years ago Parris opened a dance studio called The Palace and recently she made a dance festival called Moon Child, which was a big idea for her. The dance is about two species coming together and it is different music too. Her best kind of dance is Hip Hop. She loves to travel the world but does not like living out of her suitcase all the time. Throughout the time traveling she writes notes on computer and in a notebook for the dances. Music speaks to her and she like taking people to another place.

People get taught by members of the Royal family and they will put a little concert on too. At the moment she is learning to DJ and rap “I want to try something different” she said. She is trying to teach herself nothing is wrong.
I filled this in on a sheet that was in my Topic book. We had to fill in were the parts are on the boat. It was quite easy because I was an expert from last year.
