Summer Learning Journey 2019-20 | Week 4, Day 5 | Activity 1: The World of Hip Hop

Welcome to another post on my blog. This is the fourth week for the Summer Learning Journey 2019-20. If you don't know, the Summer Learning Journey is a holiday programme where we do blog posts over the summer holidays. This is because we don't drop down in our reading and writing. Because over the holidays, we have so much fun and not do any reading or writing, so we drop down in our scores.

The second week of this Summer Learning Journey is about All The World's A Stage - Arts and Entertainment.

DAY 5: DANCING QUEENS 

Activity 1: The World of Hip Hop [4 points] 

Parris Goebel has taken over the world of dance! You might already have heard of her as she is pretty famous in New Zealand and around the world. 

Parris was born in Manurewa, South Auckland, and she is of Samoan/Chinese/Scottish descent. Parris loved dancing when she was very little and she began hip-hop lessons when she was 10. By the age of 15 she was so good that she started her own all-girl dance crew called ReQuest, and they went on to win several first places at the World Hip-Hop Championships. 

Parris later started The Palace Dance Studio in Auckland, and formed five more dance crews that won competitions worldwide. She has also worked as a choreographer for famous musicians like Justin Beiber, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, and Janet Jackson. In 2019, Parris and her new dance crew, The Royal Family, won the World Hip Hop Dance Championship.

For this activity, watch this video of their award winning performance. What do you like about the performance? What did the dance crew do well? What could they work on?

They had done an amazing job. Their song had lots of beat and people were cheering them on. There was so much noise from the crowd. Their outfits were really attractive, because of its light neon colour. It was amazing that their choreography was perfect and planned out. It was very unique.

I hope you liked my post. Have a cool day!! Bye!!
