Blog 2.4 Jitterbug
Hello fellow bloggers, my name is Kaden Stradley and I have been dancing with thee Kyra Oakland. For this weeks genius hour we practiced the Jitterbug again. We only danced once this week but we were very productive when practicing. we had difficulties when we started for practice as Kyra's laptop froze up and we couldn't access the internet to follow our videos. We eventually just went to Kyra's phone and watched it on there and continued on with our dancing.
We practiced the same dances we did last week which were: the transition, behind the back, and the pretzel. We left out the armpit fall because of my hand this week. However we did add another dance this week called the spin out and we really enjoyed it. We had trouble learning how our arms move but we eventually were able to figure it out. Huge shout out to Cameron for filming us this week again.

2.3 Jitterbug
Hello fellow bloggers, for this week of Kyra’s and I’s genius hour project, we are doing the jitterbug. We both were looking forward to this dance as it was really fun. We only practiced for one day this week, which was really all we needed, as we both had previous knowledge of this dance so the steps were easy to pick up on.
Last time we had genius hour, we also had a basketball game and I had some bad luck in the game where I broke my right hand. Dancing with a broken hand is harder than you think, and it made learning some of the moves harder. There were also some moves we didn’t even try because of my hand but we hope that later on when my hand is better we will be able to attempt those moves. We kept the dance moves simple this week with learning the transition, behind the back, pretzel and another one called the armpit. The moves we didn’t attempt were the backflip, between the legs, and the fall down dip. Hopefully my hand heals quick so we can attempt these moves.
This dance has been really fun and our favorite dance so far. A big shout out to Brooke and Maci for giving us some advice and help during part of our dance today. This dance will be beneficial for us as so many people know the jitterbug and it is popular at prom and Bucking Horse. I’m really glad we chose this as one of our dances.
