Each week, try to implement some of these key performance element to help improve your performance. Click on the link to read the full article "7 Secrets of Super Performers".
- Don't Forget the Audience! Don't ignore them...they are there even if you wish they weren't.
- Know the music. Fill in the spaces with your movement, know the strong beats, know when to sustain your movement, etc... Counts are important but how your movement enhances the music makes you an even stronger performer!
- Ooze CONFIDENCE! Trust yourself. If you have confidence even a mistake can look GREAT!! Confidence comes with practice so PRACTICE!!!
- Be an ACTOR! Great performers lock into the emotions or character needed to perform a piece of choreography. Dance gives you an opportunity to be something other than yourself so dig deep to connect with emotions and characters to enhance your performance.
- Burst your BUBBLE! Good performers dance beyond their kinesphere (space surrounding your body). Extend beyond your fingertips, toes, nose, head and eyes.
