How To Win Dance Competitions

By Joyce Myers


Some people dance for fun. This is because they understand the numerous dancing benefits they can reap. A time comes when you need to dance so as to stand out. This is when you are to participate in a dancing competition. The fact is that like any other competition, dancing competition requires one to be well prepared and confident enough to emerge the winner. You cannot afford to take the importance of proper preparation prior to the day of competition lightly. You may also need the help of professionals who are conversant with what dance competitions entail.

You should avoid some mistakes that most dancers make while preparing for a competition. For instance, you should avoid the mistake of not having a fitness plan that is balanced. Simply attending classes two times every week and going home cannot leave you in the right shape. Dancing is more than practicing and perfecting your steps. You should also make sure that your body is healthy.

The other error is burning out. This is where you find some dancers working too hard before the competition day until their body develop burn out. Many of the dancers will keep working and will have no or little time to relax. They do not know that recovery is important in getting fitter and stronger.

The fact is that you are working towards winning the competition. However, you cannot afford to compare your abilities with the competition. You need to set your personal goals with the help of your trainers and work towards achieving them. You cannot afford to be concerned more on what other people in the competition are doing.

Also, be yourself before and during the competition. Some people get very anxious and are not able to think straight during practice. The fact is that if you are to put your creativity into practice, you have to be sober and at peace. This does not mean that you do not stretch your creativity; it only means that you understand what you are good at and capitalize on it.

While putting too much pressure is a risky behavior, being lazy is also a risky behavior. Some people assume that all will be well on the day of competition and thus fail to do what they ought to have done. Failing to put enough efforts and fixing corrections is as worse as overworking. In case you receive a correction from your trainer, make sure that you work on it.

Talking of a trainer, some people find hiring someone to train them very costly. They, therefore, undergo the preparation without someone to help them out. They end up making some serious mistakes that make them not win the competitions even after taking time to prepare. You need the help of a professional to perfect your dancing skills. Consider working with reputable and well trained trainers.

Finally, take it easy during the day of competition. Make sure that you wear comfortable attire. Your confidence is important and you need to be sure that you look your best. Make sure that you enjoy yourself as you dance. This will make you find the competition fun rather than an assignment you have to do.
