Hello guys, welcome to my blog. My name is Cacy Bozward, I am 19yrs old currently studying at university as a dancer. I created this blog LifeOfMe to talk about my life as a full-time dancer and the interesting history behind the art. For 4 weeks I will be researching into different dance questions . Each week I will be answering a question on dance, these questions will be veered towards the topic of commercial dance. But first a little information about myself.
Like I said beforehand my name is Cacy Bozward and I am on a three year intensive course studying dance. As a child I was very agitated and struggled to stand or even sit still, my mum decided to put me into dance in hopes it would allow me to control my body. My mum is usually right about most things, turns out she was right about this too. Not only did dance help with releasing my energy and helping me have more control over my body but it improved my confidence and social skills. As an only child my social development was behind in terms of milestones however by taking dance and interacting with other children like me my development progressed quickly. The more classes I took the more I loved to dance, now at an older age I can begin to understand and appreciate the journey and development dance has gone through to what we know it as now.
Hope this journey of mine will encourage you to pursue dance or just read about something new! Let me know in the comments below if this is something you'll find interesting and what me to continue for more than 4 weeks. Turn on your notifications to see my next blog... Thank You guys for reading my first blog, hope to see you next time.
