What To Look For In A Dancer During A Latin Dancing Greater Toronto Area Competition

By Karen Patterson


The simple act of swaying the human body, sometimes to a particular rhythm, is artistic. Dancing is not only a form of enjoyment but also a way of expressing oneself. Some people choose to express joy, anger, disappointment, etcetera through this form of entertainment. It can either be vigorous, smooth, random or choreographed. A Latin dancing Greater Toronto Area competition aims to look out for the best individuals who are capable of arresting the attention of a particular audience.

One of them is the ability to move to the rhythm of a song no matter how slow or fast it is. While doing this, they should be able to add in new and unique styles without going off the beat. If at all they move out of the beat they should proceed with confidence and get back to the rhythm. This is a show of confidence on their part as they will have owned up their mistakes.

Accordingly, the dancers are supposed to be flexible enough. To change from one style to another easily, it is required to have a flexible body that can manage to incorporate different styles with a smooth flow. Judges search for unique moves and the only way to come up with one is by being flexible. Flexibility also helps in synching with different rhythms of songs which can either be fast or slow. This trait also leads to having self-confidence while performing.

Having this quality as an inborn talent adds up the chances of winning the race. This is because of it easier for them to move in and learn different styles. However, having the talent without proper training can lead to disappointments. Training helps one to be more flexible and physically fit. This will keep the competitor ready to run for the set price.

Nevertheless, talent without a passion for it is meaningless. But talent incorporated with passion leads to a great level of success. Similarly, even people who are not naturally born into dancing but have a passion for it can successfully make them win these competitions. Passion means putting your heart, mind, and soul into what you are doing. It means you are enjoying yourself and this is what judges want to see in you.

The individual must have a sense of purpose. They should have a motive behind each move they make. It should come from a story that they are either trying to create or have already experienced. They should have a goal that they are aiming to reach. It should not be meaningless to them. This purpose is obtained and exhibited in different ways, which will always come out.

Consequently, they are supposed to be time conscious. Time management for a dancer is a great attribute. It is required for them to observe time when they are reporting for their competitions as this shows they are ready to go for what they want. Time observation is also required during choreographies whereby every movement has to be in perfect synchronization with the music to establish a perfect flow.

Therefore, there is always something unique in every person. However, some particular qualities will find a way of coming out in an exemplary individual. The bottom line is that great dancers always know what they want and will always show their passions and skills. A keen judge will always see such qualities amidst the sea of other individuals.
