Whether you are trying to wow the crowds or simply want to be able to hold your own on the dance floor, these dances tips and tricks can help you up your game. Remember that a strong foundation is what makes a great dancer, so make sure to spend time working on your posture, frame and technique.
Dance is all about feeling the music, so be sure to close your eyes and listen to what you are doing to really get into it. It will also help if you focus on the beat and rhythm of the song. Once you know the beat, it will be easier to add in the dance moves that fit. You can do this by tapping your feet or fingers to the beat and becoming a human metronome for its true tempo.
You won’t always have the space that you do in class on the dance floor, so be ready to adjust to a crowded environment. It will help to have a plan for how you will deal with this situation in advance. For example, if you are doing a turn that requires you to go up in the air, be sure to use your plie to gain height on any jump or leap, instead of just using your arms.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions, especially if you are confused. Your teachers and instructors will appreciate it, as they are there to guide you on your dance journey. They are also more than happy to demonstrate a move or two so that you can see how it is done properly.
