Special tricks

For tryouts we have the option to do a special trick after we're done showing the judges all the required stuff. It's really hard for me to come up with a trick because I'm a really basic dancer. Teach me how to do something and I'll work my butt off to get it, but give me free rein to do whatever I want and I'm at a lost. The requirements for this extra trick is that it has to be more than one move and that it has to show something you're good at. This trick will give you extra points to put towards your score. So doing a trick is most beneficial. Its important to do a trick that you can do well and that you are good at. If you're good at turns, do something that involves turns. If you are good at jumps, do something with jumps. If flexibility is your strong point then show off your flexibility, and so on with any other skill you may have.

I don't really know what my skill is. My dance skills aren't that developed so I don't really know. I'm trying to take more classes this year at my studio to try and get better, and make myself a more well-rounded dancer. But I honestly am unsure as to what to do at my tryout. Its important to have a special trick because it will get you extra points. Even if you can't do anything that special you should still try because even one point can make a difference from winning and losing. Its always good to improve your score any way that you can.

You can do numerous tricks like calypso's, a tilt, any leap, a herky, etc. Anything is fine as long as it's one of your strong points. Don't do something that you're not good at because there's a chance you might mess up or fall out of it. Find what you're good at whether that's jumps, turns, leaps, flexibility. Whatever you're good at, use that to your advantage and wow the judges.
