Things To Avoid While Preparing For 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.

At times, you may invest a lot of time in preparation, but you may be doing things wrong. If you are to win the competition, you need work hard and smart. You should therefore beware of some of the mistakes that you may require to observe. For instance, attending classes is good, but it not enough. You need to couple it with body workouts that will keep you in top body shape.

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.

During the competition day, be careful about how you do things. Make sure that you take light meals and avoid taking anything few hours to competition. Dress well since dressing will help you feel confident on stage. Do not exaggerate things, be yourself and enjoy the move as well.
