Me on OZZFEST, by Alexey G


Hello, this is Alexey G, and I want to tell you, about Ozzfest.

You ask me "What is "Ozzfest"?

Ozzfest is an annual festival tour of the United States (and in sometimes Europe) featuring performances by many heavy metal and hard rock musical groups. It was founded by Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon Osbourne, both of whom also organize each yearly tour with their son Jack Osbourne. The Ozzfest tour has featured bands of a variety of genres within heavy metal and hard rock, including alternative metal, thrash metal, industrial metal, metalcore, hardcore punk, deathcore, nu metal, death metal, post-hardcore, gothic metal and black metal. Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath have played the tour several times over the years.

I and my friend Toly (with our parents) went to Pizza (Italy) on ozzfest2010.It was really cool. Within two days, (unfortunately we managed to spend there only two days) we received many positive emotions. On a scene we saw the famous groups:

Pantera , Rob_Zombie and of course sab

Black_Sabbath (with Ozzy_Osbourne).

Black Sabbath is my favourite group. Earlier I could dream of that being present at their concert only, but thanking ozzfest my dream was carried out.

At first we wanted to live in tent near a scene as the majority of fans, but our parents didn't resolve to us it therefore we stopped in hotel not far festival places. Quality of hotel didn't excite us, after all we were the whole day in the field where passed Ozzfest.

For these two days I got acquainted with many interesting people, gorged on any sweets, and listened to mine favourite music.

And this makes me happy.

Dance in Fashion


Unusual post. This interesting post is from Liuba. I would like to tell you about VOGUE or VOGUEING. I don`t want to tell you about type of walking or fashion magazine. I want to tell you about my favorite style of dancing. It is really broad concept: it is runway, poses, moving. Special music and special costumes with abnormal make up. And yes - this is fashion.

VOGUEING  starts in the 30-'40s. Then the world is ruled by Greta Garbo, and the dancers copied the famous pose of actress.

There are 4 basic styles of vogue: Old Way, New Way, Vogue Femme and Dramatic

1st wave (up to 1990) «old way» - is characterized by clear lines in the construction of forms, symmetry, static postures. All forms are very pretty and feminine.

2nd wave (after 1990) «new way».One version of the new wave of popularity with the movement came after the clip Madonna «Vogue». After the 90 parts of the body become more rigid and stiff. Pierce characteristic gestures of wacking - very amplitude and whipping the brush. Can be used «king-tut" brush or wrist rolls, typical of locking. Another side - isolation, work with imaginary geometric objects, elements of pantomime.

«Voque Femme» (1995) - based on the aura of femininity, which is associated with the "queen" of balls.

There are five elements Vogue Femme: hands, catwalk, duckwalk, dips and floor performance.

«Voque Dramatic style» - based on acrobatics, is widely used in different guises vogue, including racks, fall, jumps and spins.

VOGUE BALL
Ball - this is battle, but too unusual for simple dance styles.
On the ball you can be women or man. You can be in a strange costume. For instance- to put flowers in your hairs.

Three main criteria in Vogue:
Precision - how precisely, do you follow the music.
Style - your style, your way.
Grace - as far as you are comfortable with itself, in its image. Learn to control your body.

Thanks everyone for attention. Now you know my hobby really well.
 Be creative,
Liuba

This is my story..


Hello everybody!

I want to tell you my story about dancing.

For some people, dancing is only hobby, but for me, it’s style of my life!
I’ve been dancing for all my life! And I can’t image my weekdays without them!

I still remember the day when I firstly came at the studio. I was 5 years old. I always watched the elder girls, who danced in the next class. I was in awe of their movements and grace.

So I started my way in the world of the dance…(but I have a changeable nature, so I quickly bored – this is my problem)

For two years, I danced nationwide dances, from Russian to Brazilian, using many colorful costumes and songs. We danced on all holidays. But I was tired and just walked away. After this I decided to go on ballroom dance. It was successful choice. Coach saw me and sent to the contests, resulting in deeds, a gold medal and a cup. But I only lasted for three years…to be honest, I still regret.  After I studied lots of other dance, like Arabian and hip-hop, but, again, there isn’t long delayed. Since I was 12, I finally quit dancing, but continued to look enviously at the successful dancers, the reason of everything - my selfishness.

In this summer, I was in the dance camp, where the girls were awakened my love for dancing. And in this year, I started again!

I came to the conclusion: Do not miss the chance because of selfishness and laziness. In spite of everything, follow your dream.

Street Fashion

Nowadays,a lot of people prefer street fashion.It is the most comfortable and usefyl.Let's disscus it.


It is believed that the history of fashion includes street style around the middle of the twentieth century. The impetus for its creation was the eternal conflict between fathers and children. The younger generation have started to look for ways to express themselves in all spheres of life, and found them in fashion. Nontrivial set of clothes screaming that teenagers are members of a new, more progressive time and their parents before them far.

So what is it like?

1)Scarf
Every mod should have the scarf. Without it, this style loses some detail! The most popular colors are grey,broun,white and beige.

2) Sweater
It is really fashinable and comfortable.So,wear sweaters with lines,stars and different animals on them and  you will be in trend.

3) Jeans
A lot of people wear skinny jeans.In street fashion it is really popular and cool.Blue,black,grey it doesn't metter what color.

4) Timberlands
You think it is so strange? Maybe,but they are very durable and comfortable.If you are a fan of street fashion,you should get them.

5) Accessories
The main focus is on accessories. They add visual simple things make daily pattern smart.

This unusual, slightly scruffy style has become one of the most popular in the world. It does not require a lot of cash costs, so be fashionable can afford any.

Alisa.

Healthy Lifestyles


     Hi everybody who read it.
   I want to discuss important things of our life. It’s health. A lot of people think that if nothing hurt, everything is good. But also we have problem with our health.
   First thing, which can lead to disease, it’s bad ecology. A lot of traffic jams, factories and hard work in the office damage our health.
   Unhealthy food, it’s very bad for us. But usually people eat it because it’s very easy. You must just roast it and you can relax near TV.
   Immobile lifestyle it’s the third reason of unhealthy life. We should do sport more than now. But also people prefer sitting on the sofa, watching TV and eat fast food. We can’t imagine our life without TV or computer. But when we see some people who make sport exercise, we said that he is crazy, watching will be better than sport.
   I think that people should change their lifestyle because it can damage their body, they can dying earlier. And it’s one more global problem for everybody all over the world.
  Don’t be lazy, do sport…       
         Alexey N.
