How to Dance Freely

The first thing you need to do is find big space to dance, you'll need a radio and some comfortable clothes to dance in.

Steps

1. Get some music you really like to listen to. If you can't then dance to the radio.

2. Just let your body move to the music and relax.

3. Don't care if anyone is watching.

4. Dancing should calm you down when you're mad at someone.

5. It's important to take in the beat of the song, and trying to move to it , be it sideways, or up and down. It makes you look alittle better rather than lost.

6. Move your arms, legs, hips, head etc.

7. Make up your own dances. dances you make up are probably going to look better on you than dances you've seen Shakira and Beyonce do.

8. Watch MTV and MuchMusic for ideas, try to mimic some moves but not the whole thing. Mix and Match.

Tips

1. Dance how ever you want to. Don't care at all what other people might think. In fact, don't think at all; just move.

2. Ballet dancing at a party that plays hip-hop music is bizzare and weird. And vise-versa. Moshing at a classy ball room event is just stupid. Don't do that. Move with the music, not against it.

3. Don't worry if you're not a professional at dancing; other people are probably just as bad as you. Dancing is supposed to be fun, you can't have any fun if you're uptight and worried about what people are thinking.

4. Dirty dancing can be seen as inappropriate by some people. Be careful where you do it, i.e. don't bust out in a move that would make all the boys sweat if you're at a job function.

Pen and Ink Sketching on Tours

Sketching is an fun hobby that many artists enjoy doing on tours. Later, an artist can use a sketch to transform it into a drawing to be framed.

After years of traveling on tours with my history buff husband, I finally discovered it wasn’t so bad. I used to just tag along, hoping for a few quiet moments to rest my weary feet during those many historical tours. I often sat on the bus when the tour director warned us that the trek up the hill to see a historical landmark might be challenging. Now, I actually look forward to these trips as they give me the unique opportunity to sketch scenes I don’t see back at home.

Benefits of Sketching

A sketch is a preliminary drawing, usually intended for a final drawing or painting. This is how artists can record information. Even people naturally gifted in drawing can improve their skills by regularly sketching objects they see every day.

Sketching helps to sharpen observation skills and focus on tiny details of a subject. It also improves a person’s ability to draw freehand.

Sketching Tips

Before you even take your trip, practice sketching houses, churches and other buildings in your neighborhood. First, find a subject to sketch such as a house across the street. After studying it, ask yourself questions. What area of the subject is the brightest? Note any sunlit areas or shadows, determining the light source. Count the windows, porch steps and other items.

Then, take a pencil and draw the shapes that you see. This doesn’t have to be an exact copy of the building, although you can probably capture the subject’s essence. Next, use a straight-edge to straighten lines and make corrections. If there are some imperfections, realize that imperfections depict character if your house is old.
