My last photoshoot at Ben Ohanley's studio

A few weeks ago, my dad too k me for a photo-shoot in Leigh-on-Sea at OHanley's Studio. I met Ben and I was a bit shy to start with but we soon talked about Jessie J and stuff I like doing and Ben played my favourite songs in the studio.
I normally don't enjoy having my photos taken (especially by my dad) but sometimes I do and I do like a bit of modelling and posing is fun. The photos Ben took are for my portfolio and I really like them - but not the one with my hair loose because I only wanted photos with my hair tied up...but my dad messed it all up!

So here are a couple of photos we did on the day but there are more on Ohanley's blog.

If you want some cool photos to give as presents, ask your mum and dad to book a session with Ben - plus at the moment he has a super offer for location shoot

Sandra Singer Summer School 2014

I have just finished a week of Summer school at Sandra Singer in Leigh-on-Sea. 

I am on the bottom far right.

We had a great time learning new dances, doing drama with some great teachers and we even prepared a little show for our family. My favorite moments were when I was dancing with Aimee Singer and Carrie-Anne Ingrouille, a top Hip-Hop dance choregrapher (watch her video).

Everything was fun and I can't wait to keep on practising the new moves I 
learned.

Why I learn grappling?

I wanted to learn grappling so I can train with my dad. We swim together and often we grapple under-water as well. I just love it but not when I stay too long under water.
I like grappling because I learn techniques all the time and I can beat my dad with chokes and armlocks - sometimes we don't use them and I just have to put him on his back to win. It's fun.

At school if I say I practise grappling nobody know what it is...so it is different than saying I do gymnastics or football or any other sport. I would say grappling is my third favorite sport after gymnastics and cheerleading.
