Practice outside of practice

Practice is really important when it comes to getting better. You need to put in the time and effort in order to improve. You are not going to improve just by going to practice. Although that helps and is a great way to keep on top of your skills, you don’t work on everything you need to work on when it comes to practicing in a group with other people. Practicing outside of practice is best if you use it to work on your skills that you may have trouble with or need improvement on. Because you’re not going to always dance your best when surrounded by friends or fellow classmates. You may need more time on a skill than other people and the time you have in class may not be enough to understand and learn that new skill.

 Practice outside of practice will improve you fast if you 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.

Practicing outside of practice, practicing right, and practicing the little things will improve you the most and the most efficiently. You will improve greatly if you put in the time and effort to make yourself better.
