IH & RR AU week day 6: Balletroom Dancers 💃🏻

This is my last entry for the week and I went slightly off topic! A DanceSport AU was actually something I came up with well before this event was even announced.

Ichigo and Orihime are performing a Viennese Waltz. Rukia and Renji are performing a Cabaret piece. The cabaret category has greater allowances for lifts, which RenRuki would excel at with their height difference.

Cameos from Yoruichi and Urahara. This is the first time I've drawn them. 😬 All of these look janky to me, because I've been very stressed since I started drawing them, but I hope you enjoy them.

The new sports and events you’ll see at the 2024 Paris Olympics

Did you know breakdancing is now an Olympic sport?

9 June 2024

You’re used to seeing track and field, gymnastics, and swimming at the Summer Olympics, but did you know breakdancing is now an Olympic sport?

Stacker examined the new sports and events coming to the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Many sports vie to be in the Olympics for greater visibility and to fuel participation.

The International Olympic Committee’s revenue-sharing model doesn’t hurt either — after the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, the IOC distributed nearly $523 million to the international federations governing the sports in the Olympic program.

Though many sports try, getting onto the Olympic program is a complex process that can take years.

There are two elements of the Olympic sports program:

The initial program consists of the core sports you see at every Games and hosts city-selected sports.

To be considered for Olympic inclusion, the sport must have an international federation that the IOC “recognizes.”

Recognized international federations have participation from a wide range of countries and continents, a world championship, and abide by many rules, including those against doping and competition manipulation.

Recognized status does not guarantee Olympic inclusion — chess, billiards, and cheerleading are all IOC-recognized sports but have yet to be in the Olympics.

IOC membership votes on the initial sports program about seven years before an Olympics occurs.

Once a sport is on this list, it’s almost permanently put on the program, although that’s not always the case.

Host cities may also add sports to the program — with IOC approval — to make their Olympics unique.

Host cities make their selections using a framework of 35 considerations, including the number of athletes, appeal to youth, costs, and local popularity.

The number of new sports can vary — the 2020 Tokyo Olympics had five new sports.

Paris kept new sports like skateboarding, sport climbing, surfing, and added one new sport to the mix.

Sports may also change their events from Olympic year to Olympic year to modernize them, appeal to younger generations, and provide more opportunities for women.

In Tokyo, basketball added a 3×3 event, giving urban half-court play an Olympic platform.

In Paris, you’ll also see several new events that will change up the Games.

Lesson notes 9/25/23

I got a surprise lesson today! It was supposed to be Thursday but they asked if I wanted to move it up to tonight. Made my night honestly

Since I'm not prepping for any particular event currently, my instructor went for some oddball choices - we did lindy hop, peabody, quickstep, and a little bit of paso doble. Out of that list peabody, was the only one I had worked on in a private lesson before, so it was a ton of fun to try some new things.

Having never done quickstep I sort of assimilated it to foxtrot on fast-forward in my head... that's not correct. There are lots of lock steps, even in the basic! It's a real challenge at such a fast pace.

I really enjoyed paso doble, even though we only played with it for a couple minutes. I wish it had been longer. For how harsh and dramatic the music is, it has a surprising amount of flow.

Lindy hop is one I've tried socially and really struggled with, but it clicked once I got weight distribution explained. (It's not actually about jumping and is a lot more grounded than it looks.)

After the lesson I voiced to my instructor how frustrating it is to see people who started at the studio after me leveling up way ahead, and constantly have to remind myself that it's only because I can't afford as frequent lessons and not because I'm just plain worse than they are. He validated that I'm not worse and predicted that I'm going to have a very fast rise once I hit the point where my resources allow for it. So that's cool.

[onewakingworld]

The studio started a three part series group class on paso doble today which is like. Imagine the most intense, angry, wildly extra dancing you can and then multiply it times five. I love it
