Continuing my Literature Reviews

I have been finding the literature reviews very informative and interesting.
Although the actual review part I am finding really hard to get my head around.

We are not actually reviewing in the sense of what a theatre/movie review would be. We are not critiquing or giving a star rating. I am finding it difficult to write my reviews without actually giving on opinion on what I am reading.


I just wanted to share a few quotes from literature I have found so far.


“A dance studio can also contribute to the community by providing strong, positive role models for children to emulate and follow.”

“We don’t teach kids to make great dancers, we teach dance to make great kids.” 

 ‘You have to take dance seriously for others to value it.

To call class activities “having fun” creates the perception that dance is neither serious nor educational” - I agree with the first part of this quote, however I do believe dance class should be fun.

“A role model is someone who serves as blueprint for others,”    

 “Being seen as a ‘role model’ is not a universally appealing prospect. For some it suggests an expectation of perfection, the risk of being put on a precarious pedestal or the possibility of being seen as arrogant.”

“There is something fundamentally generous about a person accepting that they are a role model. In effect, they are seeing that their influence can extend beyond themselves and their own careers to impact on others.”

“Hey, big shot. You don’t have to be a celebrity or a superstar to be a role model. Chances are if you’re a parent, teacher, coach, religious leader, or manager, you’re influencing people every day. Make it positive!”

“time for all responsible people to take action. Yes, you! You don’t have to be a powerful politician, famous actor, award-winning musician or an athlete in the big leagues to have fans. The truth is, you are influencing people every day. Be a positive force in their lives.”
“little footsteps in the sand usually follow larger ones, so watch where you step.”
