The weekend just gone was a long-anticipated full weekend of dancing and hosting The London Ballet Company. Five dancers from LBC set off at 7am for the long drive to Swansea. They gave us all here a very enjoyable 3 hours of dancing to fill our Saturday afternoon, including a contemporary class and learning some repetoire from their most recent show 'James Bond - 00 and his 7'. It was refreshing and inspiring for all the dancers who came along, both those teaching and taking part, and hopefully a continued collaboration between The London Ballet Company and Swansea University Dance Society can be made. After a tiring day we headed out to the Saturday night bars of Swansea City to continue dancing the night away! Sunday morning involved lots of coffee and bacon sandwiches for LBC's long journey back to London, while I trekked off to the library. From one city to another, I have now finally sat down to write my essay from my study abroad programme in Colorado last summer, realising deadline dates are approaching! As I write my essay about the development of technology in society, I begin to appreciate just how lucky we are in the 21st Century to be able to travel across the country in just a couple of hours, and communicate with our professors all the way across the pond! It's amazing how seemingly simple pleasures such as dancing with lots of friends in a big room, actually does need a surprising amount of technology to coordinate! Well all I can say is that we had a brilliant (if tiring) weekend and would love to be able to repeat it in the near future. For now, the dance society here looks forward to a hiphop dance workshop next weekend, performing for the National Omani day, arranging charity events and flashmobs with Chinese and Bolloywood classes! Back to the degree now, may technology continue to flourish (without harming the environment!)
