 This months tip
When you watch a dancer, not only do you see her steps and her
rhythm but you will see how she is using, line direction, focus,
even her breath!. Keep all these in mind when contemplating
your performance. (Look for more articles on individual
subjects and we look forward to your contributions)
1.
When you are
responsible for presenting a performance or show, ask a friend or
student to help by acting as stage manager. The acting manager
can take charge of the music, help with the dance order and do any
last minute stage check. This will keep the performance moving
along in a more timely and organized manner..Adayna
2.
Prepare a
written introduction when going to perform. To make it more
interesting tell something about where the music or dance is from or
tell a little about what the music says to you. Naj

Check your
facial expressions when you dance. (Imagine my shock, when I
saw myself on video. I was trying to help my hip move by
