Practice,Practice, PRACTICE!


Practice is everything. If you want to get better, than you have to practice. You can improve so much if you practice consistently and often. I know it’s hard to find the time, but if you make an effort to practice than it will pay off. It may not pay off right away but eventually you'll be happy you put in the time to get better. You can practice you're flexibility, your pirouettes, you're jumps, or whatever else you want to get better at. I've been on dance team at my school since the beginning of the summer and we had practice about every other day during the week. My pirouettes were very bad technique wise, but after working on them consistently and often they have gotten a lot better. They still need work, but I'm very pleased with the progress that I've made already.

Practice the right way. If you Practice right, then you'll perform it right. You may hear this a lot, but it's true. If you learn your skill or dance right, then practice it right, it will ultimately make your life easier because then you won't have to spend so much time fixing the mistakes you could of had right all along. You'll end up having more time and energy to spend on other things instead of stressing about the move or dance skills you need to work on.

Practice the little things. There's a difference between going through the motions and then actually hitting, or sharpening the moves. Finishing each move strong and together is very powerful and gives lots of energy and purpose to the dance. When you're watching two people do the same dance and one's smiling and the other's not, which one are you going to watch or enjoy more? Obviously the one smiling. Smiling or doing facials is a little thing that can make you're dance a lot more enjoyable to you and the audience, and is a huge factor in your stage presence. As a dancer you want to entertain your audience and practicing your moves right will help in accomplishing this.
