When it comes to dance, there are many tricks and tips you can follow to improve your performance. First, try to avoid working too hard on the latest “trend” that has become the rage. The popularity of reality television and social media have added to the popularity of this genre and many dancers are diving into new flexibility stunts, pointe work, tumbling, and leaps. It’s important to remember that while tricks are fun, they are not necessarily the best way to improve your dancing.
Watching other dancers will help you pick up on movements you may have missed. Those small movements can make a huge difference in choreography. As you can see, learning from the best will make all the difference in your performance. A little bit of practice never hurts. Observing others will give you a good idea of what you need to improve. If possible, try to dance with someone you can admire to see what they do best.
A simple way to improve your body’s coordination is to journal. Write down the movements you make, the music you listen to, and other details about the performance. This will help you feel more comfortable and confident while dancing. It will also help you remember details of the dance you have watched. And remember that your face is a big part of the whole. And, the faces of contemporary dancers tell stories. As you begin to master your facial expressions, your dancing will improve dramatically.
