Dancers with long legs and arms sometimes struggle to keep their body movements in balance. They may push their hip flexors out too far and overextend their knees which causes them to lose control of the movement. This is why it is important to maintain control of your limbs and not let them out too far as you dance. It takes practice, but you can learn to do this and improve your dancing.
Try listening to a song without words and dance to the beat of the music to get a feel for it. When you have a good feel for the rhythm of a dance, you can start to pick up on the patterns and learn the choreography more quickly.
Watch dance-heavy musicals like “Chicago” and “Anything Goes,” competitive series like “World of Dance” or even street performers like Logistx to grab inspiration for your own unique style. If you can see how the pro dancers meld their physical interpretations of the music with their synchronicity, it can motivate you to create dances that will connect with your audience in a similar way.
Don’t starve yourself when you dance. Have a healthy, balanced diet and make sure to drink plenty of water. It will help prevent injuries and give you energy for the performance.
Don’t let your nerves get in the way of your performance. Remember that the audience loves you! They want to see you succeed. If you do make a mistake, keep going. It’s a great feeling to know that after all the hard work you put into your dance, the audience will love it anyway!
