Activity 2: En Pointe
“Winning doesn’t always mean being first. Winning means you’re doing better than you’ve done before. Is the quote is chose written by Bonnie Blair. I think quotes like these are truly inspirational It is also a quote that helps you reach your goal other than showing off u won you can make a high goal next time and the quote could be a reminder of stepping up and accomplishing your goal.
For this activity, we looked at a successful ballet dancer Misty Copeland. she started taking lessons at 13 years old she worked very hard to become the first African-American lead dancer of the American Ballet Theater. I want them to be able to see dreams through me." - quoted from Misty in one of her interviews. So we were asked to look into 25 quotes This one I chose was from Bonnie Blair.

Activity 1: The World of Hip Hop
What I think of the Royal family... I think that they are very talented and it would have taken a lot of time and practice to switch to dance and to remember all those different dance moves I watched another video of them dancing their whole performance was amazing. They definitely put a lot of time and effort into their dances.I also liked the clothing style I think with the dark light and the nice bright amazing clothing is very cool and it stands out during the performance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The music I have a tied opinion on the music is very cool a nice mash-up and stuff but also there are some songs with things kids should not hear But other than that the songs go good with the dances and I enjoy watching them dance. What they should improve... Nothing I love their dance, songs, clothing style and everything else I think they are a successful dance group that most people enjoy.
In this activity we looked at Parris Goebel, a very famous New Zealander. Parris always like dancing as a child. At the age of 15 she was very successful. In Auckland she started The Palace Dance Studio also in 2019 Parris and one of her crews, The Royal Family, won the World Hip Hop Dance Championship. Which then we were asked to watch their preformances and give a review like what we did like/did not like did they do well? and stuff like their costumes, dances, music ect.

Activity 1: Fashion forward

Twenty-Seven Names used to be Love Lies Bleeding but it was copyright from a different company in the US. So they ended up having to change their name. While thinking of a new name they had wroten a list of people who helped and supported their business. Then they had the idea of Twenty-Seven names.
I Think their brand name is very cool creative and it has a good meaning. It will bring a lot of attention and I don't think they should change it. It's also a good way to thank/acknowledging the 27 people who have supported their business.
For this activity, we looked at a New Zealand fashion label called "Twenty-Seven Names". the people of the business had been friends since primary school who are Rachel Easting and Anjali Burnett. We were asked to share how they got their name and if we like it or not if we don't what would it be changed to?. I like their name and I don't think they should change it.
Activity 3: Feast or Famine
If I was completely honest I would not join because I would have to eat also I could not go 40 hours without food. But I would be willing to give something else up to help others. It's a great way to be supportive too because we make a life-changing difference.
For this activity.
For this activity we looked at an actor from New Zealand, named Julian Dennison, who is only 17 years old. he has already starred in a number of movies and TV commercials. He recently joined up with World Vision to be a 40 Hour Famine Ambassador. He travelled with World Vision to Uganda to meet some of the refugees from South Sudan who are living there.
