Princess Diana to Princess Kate Middleton

Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all...

The generation of kids who grew up with the rag-dolls, to plastic barbies and now the digital selfie Facebook era will understand that some constants will never change. The self image of a princess and the model template it was fabricated. In the 1990's Princess Diana was the black duckling of the Royal Family who won the hearts and minds of the nation, the media and then her charity work on clearing land mines in war torn countries like Africa won the final battle of admiration of the world. I still remember vividly the day 31st August 1997, it was raining, I was sat in a little corner cafe listening to the radio buzzing from behind the barista's counter when the radio DJ announced her passing. The next day, the week, every tabloid and media channel provided coverage on this sad event.

If beauty wasn't measured on appearance then Princess Diana would be the material that beauty should be made from.

Fast forward time to 2010, the modern envy of this generation falls on Princess Kate Middleton (see pic below). But how does she rate against her late mother-in-law?

A brief survey by FFM shows that 67% of the public opinion would rated Diana as the more fashion conscious, 23% rated Kate as the most adventurous type, 85% rated Diana plays a big role in changing the world, 73% rated Kate as more influential in the media world, and finally, 52% of the public surveyed adores Princess Diana & will be the favourite Princess of all time.

Are all dancers equal or some are just ego-manics who thrive on showbiz and limelight?

Are all dancers equal or some are just ego-manics who thrive on showbiz and limelight? 

Last weeks VMA music award news headline was hi-jacked by Miley Cyrus's "Twerking". If you have been on holiday/ vacation or hiding under a rock, here is a snippet of the story by a Youtuber Michinima 

 

I met with a professional dancing instructor from San Fransico at a cafe today. She has a background in BA Contemporary Dance, worked in Broadway Productions, theatres and music performances around the Eastern hemisphere touring with a world class super-star. As she described the experience was unique and every night was about delivering the same routine to perfection, pushing her body to its limit of exhaustion and watching the others slowly slip away as injuries and stress break down any mental & physical stability. Now, she has turn to teaching dance to the younger generation in schools and at community centers. 

From a parents perspective, when signing up their kids to a dance academy or a local class, one of the assumptions are that all dance teachers are equal. FFM have done a bit of research and blimey! The common decision making process are often simple to based on a leap of faint. 

We have decided to help our readers with a sample criteria to set a standard. 

Making the right choice

1) THE TEACHER's Motivation – The teacher's motivation is the key to the success of the class. Find out if they are qualified to teach the subject and have a real passion. Does the teacher relate well with her class? Are their instructions clear? Would they inspire your child? Go along and watch the first class to check you and your child are happy. 

2) SIZE OF CLASS – Ideally, there should be no more that 8 to 10 pupils per teacher. Will your child be an important member of the group or just a number? Realistically, local dance classes are about the numbers so don't expect the world unless you want one to one sessions.

4) LENGTH OF CLASS - The class should not be too long for very young children – they can usually concentrate for about 30 minutes before the riot begins and all social order breaks down.

5) DRESS CODE - Each school has it own requirements for uniform/dress code. 

6) REPUTATION – What do the parents of the children in the class think of the lessons? Ask friends what they have heard about the classes. 

7) OPPORTUNITIES - Does the school offer performance opportunities and/or exams in a recognised board.
