Position:Home>Dancing> First dance competition today, any tips?Question: First dance competition today, any tips!? So today is my first dance competition **ever**!. I'm pretty nervous, but mostly about having everything with me, not the actual dance!. Do you have any tips or suggestions on what to bring!? (other then obvious like costumes, shoes, make up, water, etc!.) What should I expect at a competition!? Anything super duper important that I need to know about!? Thanks!. :]Www@QuestionHome@Com
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You should expect being tired by the end of the day for sure!. When you get on stage you will have a rush of energy!. You might be nervous before you get on stage but once you are out there, you will feel like nothing can stop you!. Just make sure you have fun, smile, make eye contact with the judges & they love faces too :) You might want to take extra safety pins, bobby pins, etc!. in case you are in need of them!. Any extra tights or anything that might be needed in case of emergency like tights ripping!?! It will be kind of like a recital!. You are performing for a group of people!. Just make sure you're having fun and if you are, the judges will be able to tell!.Www@QuestionHome@Com hey dont like get really nervous or anything i have done only one in my whole dancing life which had bee 5 years!.well the first time i went to compatition i was yes extremly nervous and i was only 10 and well i was yes once again very nervous and well just make sure t he man thing is you act like you know what you doing and absolutly always keep a smile on your face!.!.!.the smile always works!.and compatition and recital is just a little bit different because yea there are probably more people and just try to act like there are no judges watching you!.just pretend you are doing a recital and all the people out there are like all of your friends and family AND ALWAYS HAVE A SMILE!.i am saying that a lot because the smile is very important!.and i sure everybody who has never done a s compatition before is very nervous!.and well also right beofre you leave make sure that you have everything that you need!.go over into your head!.and dont worry about the judges and just keep your head up and you will win!.!. good luck hope you do good :)Www@QuestionHome@Com PERSONALITY!. Make sure this is the main thing you have!. Whether you stubbed your toe, you're about to throw up, or anything!. Just fake it even, lol!. The first thing that judges look for is the personality!. There can be a dancer that has amazing technique but no personality, then the opposite and the opposite will always get the higher score!. The Competition will pretty much be like a recital only taken more seriously!. There will probably be several dressing rooms and just a tip, if when you get to the stage and there have a screen on the side for people in the back to see, DO NOT LOOK AT IT!. Very bad thing to do because it will be backwards to what you are doing!. Lol, good luck and hope you do well!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com If you have a lucky charm of some kind, bring that! A little superstition never hurts! I've been competing since I was 6, and every year I bring my "lucky pig" (a stuffed animal)!. Its helped (or so I believe)! Bring bananas! The potassium helps, trust me!. Bring mints or gum!. They can help to calm you down or wake you up right before performance!. It is most definitely like a recital!. There are usually less people watching a competition anyways, because most of the dancers are backstage and a bunch of the parents are helping!. Ham it up with the judges!. Be really emotional, and when needed, smile! A lot! Be confident, and good luck! I hope that you do great!Www@QuestionHome@Com Always stay confident, if you say your not going to do good then you probably wont do good!. Youve done the dance a million times dont be nervous!. Remember to always smile!. :) Stay sharp with your moves, make sure you always count, that is what a judge is looking for!. Have fun at competition!. I have a competition tomorrow!. I cant wait! Have fun at your competition!Www@QuestionHome@Com well i suggest to bring your confidence with you!.!.!. don't think that your nervous!.!. think that you'll nail this competition and that you'll win! Expect that not all the competitors are going to be nice to you!.!. some will be some won't!.!.!. that's their way of physicking themselves up for the competition!.!.!. also i suggest that if you do get really nervous, breath in deep breaths it helps you relax!.!.!. good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com stay calm,have fun, and do your best!.Good luckWww@QuestionHome@Com |
