Introduction

Hello, Welcome to my Blog for my Social media marketing class at Normandale Community College. My Name is Anya. I am in my third year at Normandale and will be graduating in May of this year. I am 21 years old and graduated from Jefferson in 2020. Some of my hobbies include dancing, reading, hanging out with friends, and anything dog related. My favorite hobby though is dancing. I have been doing it since I was about five years old. I did competition for a few years and then switched to an all-ballet school in 2010. I have been in multiple shows for dance and have learned a lot about myself.  I have also learned about how social media affects dancers and teachers. There are so many accounts of dancers and their lives and how teachers teach their kids dances. It's interesting to see how similar yet different they all are to each other.

 Here is an article I found on the the  Dangers of Social Media for Dancers .  Another article that I found explains the good and bad of Social media for dancers, not just the bad.  Social media: How does it affect the dance world?

One of the most common ballets that all ballet studios do is the Nutcracker. It's performed in the wintertime for most studios around the holidays. This is me backstage.

My Favorite Ballet Variation Video

This is my favorite variation that I have done. This is not me though. This is someone from the Mariinsky ballet which is in Russia. Russian ballerinas are extremely good and are what you see most of the time on youtube. Another famous one is the Royale ballet which is in England.
