My hip-hop teacher (:

My hip-hop teacher is..."original"

His name is Rashawn Hammons and he basically looks and dresses like a ganster. Well, a clean-cut nice looking friendly non-violent gangster. That, and he has a large collection of hats. Beanies, trucker hats, you name it.

He's a teacher and the leader/founder of Poe Kru. (that's a competitive dance team for all you people uneducated in dance..) He lives in Fayettvile, AR and has to drive all the way to Bentonville AR 3-4 days a week. I personally think its loyal and all but its just a little ridiculous. On top of all that, he teaches at another dance studio.

Rashawn is the 3rd person to actually see me TRY to hip-hop dance. I've had quite a few people tell me that i'm good, but I don't think its true. At all. Zilch. NO. Nada. El negative.

I'm quitting dance, (all of it. Jazz, Ballet, Point, Tap, Lyrical, and especially hip-hop.) and I honestly don't think Rashawn approves. Most people probably wouldn't notice that I wasn't there....except maybe Amanda. I know that it'll be really hard on me, but it'll be worth it.

I just really hope that Rashawn will find other people who are to shy to come out of their shell and actually DANCE. I mean, sure all dance teachers have found people with extrodinary talents, but I think that Rashawn can crack people. (in a good way) I don't want people to be judged or underestimated in dance. Ever. It literally kills me when I see that.

Good luck Rashawn. I hope you suceed.

11 Things A Dancer Should Promise Herself

11 Things A Dancer Should Promise Herself

1. To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

2. To speak of health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

3. To make all your friends feel that there is something wonderful in them.

4. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your dreams come true.

5. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and expect only the best.

6. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

7. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

8. To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

9. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

10. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

11. To always point your toes.

thanks justin bieber, thanks.

          Ok so i have blogged ALOT but i just didn't post them. So don't blame me cuz you didn't see a new blog. It's not my fault. Well. kinda;)
          But anyway, as you can see from my title, i am officially mad at justin bieber. Not that he cares but i feel like ranting about him to my blog for awhile. Don't you hate it how the WORLDS obsessed with justin bieber?!?!?!?! i mean, COME ON!!!
          On my twitter account i let one of my friends get on it and she followed like 400 people for me. So the next day i get on i see ALL these tweets about justin bieber. WTH? i seriously counted how many tweets there were that were unjustin-related and there were three. out of 100. It took me literally two hours to de-bieber my twitter account but their all still following my so I'm getting direct messages and stuff that say the two words I'm begining to hate.
           Don't get me wrong, his music is great (mostly) but i think he's getting to much pubicity. People are either treating him like he's a GOD or there hating on him like britney spears.
         Like, for example, two of my friends Kennedy and Karina are OBSESSED with him. As in over five hundred pictures of him *sigh* so normal, so normal;)
          I feel better now. Kinda like i accomplished something. Even though i didn't. unless JB is reading this blog. Hmmmm..........:)

byeee y'all:)
lauren

"Welcome to wal-mart. Would you like a sticker?" "HELL YES I WOULD!!"

hii

           Don't you just hate those days where you want to get up and do something but your to lazy? guess what? that's today. I wanna get up and go skateboard or over to a friends house but i don't wanna geddup so I'm bloggin from my laptop watching the office (my fav T.V. show btw) and am eating chips. living the american dream. jk peoples jk.
           This is turning out to be a pretty cool summer but if school were to start that would be cool. I'm going to that open house thing they have at the beginning of every school year so students can meet their teachers and everyone can figure out how they're gonna pass notes, stuff like that. kinda nevous. very lazy. really bored. So you've had the lauren update:)

"Love is just another word until you find someone to give it definition,"

i wanna go to 6th grade!!!!!!

          Sorry haha I"ve already done like 2 post things today. But i just made this blog. And I'm a little bored. hahaha I'm so normal;)

          But ANYWAY (I get distracted a lot) if you didn't notice from my title, i wanna go to 6th grade already!!!! I mean, dont get me wrong, i love summer, but i want to see what Pod I'm in and see my friends and stuff. (pod= three groups in one grade each groups is a "pod") i miss seeing all my friends everyday. the only thing about school that i don't like is the whole learning part. And getting up at 6 in the morning.

          In elementary school, you had a class up through 5th grade. They changed every year but having to spend about 8 hours a day with 26ish people for a school year kinda makes you treat each other like family. When you go into 6th grade you have 8 classes and a pod. AND if a certain person isn't in your pod then you have a 5% chance of seeing them throughout the day:(

          I swear, if my boyfriends not in my pod...... oh my gosh i would FLIP OUT. Sorry, off subject. But i do have some good news though. I'm on percussion!!!!:):) sadly there's only one other girl on it. But i was talking to my friend on facebook and since we have to be on percussion together we were talking about our drum kits. it comes with this xylophone (sorry about the spelling I'm to lazy to look it up) that 2 feet 4 inches long and so far i can play twinkle twinkle little star and Mary had a little lamb and hes still working on Mary had a little lamb. Yes, i know we are total rockstars;)

          I'm gonna go get on twitter and maybe facebook so blog ya latersss.

First post

          So, uh, this is my first blog post on my account so far. (if there are any typos forgive me, I'm only eleven.) I'm starting this blog so when I'm RICH and FAMOUS people will see why. JK!! I'm just making this kind of a digital journal where i can keep my thoughts in order. And the whole rich and famous thing too;)
          I know the title for my blog is kind of weird but it's true. I'm not excactly a TEENAGER but I'm not a little kid. So I'm a tween. And then the brainz part was becuase all of my friends are GENIUSES!!! Ok, a little. It's mostlly because some of us look older than we are and some of us act older, stuff like that.
          I have a drop dead feeling that my blog isn't going to get that popular but I don't care. I haven't told any of my friends yet cuz they'll probably find out soon enough. Most of them are real snoops who go through my past history on my computer to find funny vids on youtube. *sigh* so normal, so normal.
          Just so ya know, I'm a VERY active dancer. Like, serious dance, not the whole sprinkler crap. I take 6 hip hop dance classes a week and I'm on two competitive teams. plus gymnastics. Ooooo and i do jazz to. (contemporary) I know I'm not gonna get many followers but if I do, i would LOVE it if you commented or something with a few good hip-hop songs. And if you read my blog comment telling me yours and I'll follow you and read blogs and stuff.
          Before i log off, I want to say that one of my bestestest friends Ashlyn Morrow has a blog and it would mean a lot if you read a few. She took two dance classes last year and fell in love so now she has a whole dancers blog. It's pretty flippin cool.
          At the end of each post, I'll put a funny quote or a meaningful one that i heard that day.
"Out of all the things i lost, i miss my sanity the most." :p
