The Origin of Dancing: Rumba
Hi everyone!
What's better than to start my very first informative post with some background of the ballroom dancing we know today? So, here is the origin of the sensual Rumba.
Meaning of the word 'Rumba'
The term 'rumba' may refer to two different styles of dancing. The first meaning is the Afro-Cuban Rumba, which I will not explain here. The other, of course, is the ballroom rumba.

Welcome at my blog!
Hi all!
Time for a fresh start!
As some of you might know, I already started this blog in 2013. I started with small reviews, swatches and some looks. I wasn't a very regular poster, especially not in exam periods. However, I enjoyed blogging and when I did have the time to post, my head was full of inspiration!
After thinking for a while, I thought I'd better focus on the personal side of the blog. So, I started with 'Dansen met die Grijze Pony', a blog about me, my horses, my exams, everything, but I didn't think this was the right platform to show manicures, swatches and competition looks. However, I missed sharing my make-up thingies...
Last competition a few dancers came to me and asked me why I hadn't post anything in a while. I couldn't give a good answer. Why not? Why not use this blog to share my thoughts about make-up and dancing and use the other (Dutch) blog for all the rest? It's clearer for my readers to keep things separated. I can do both things.
In the 'radio silence' over here, I didn't quit with painting my nails and I've danced a couple of competitions. Luckily, I still kept taking pictures of everything, 'because you never know'.
At the revised version of Ballroom & Beauty, I will post on a more regular basis.
Every Monday will be Make-up Monday. I'll show you a recent look I did or a manicure. Sometimes it will be a matching combination or a full face make-up.
Every Thursday I will post some general information. Something about the origin of the several dances, some tips on preparing yourself for a competition, something about injuries. In short: Thursdays can be about everything, but mostly those articles will be informative.
Saturdays will be about the Saturday Songs. To start the weekend in dancing moods, I'll share a song I like to use for dancing.
If you have any requests, remarks or questions, please feel free to contact me.
Enjoy reading!
