Preparations When Joining Dance Competitions

By Raymond Morgan


Dancing usually starts as a hobby for people and when they gradually become more passionate with it, they want it to be their profession. Most of them starts at a young age and attends workshops and lessons for a particular kind of dance. This would help them become more skilled in their performance and helps them gain confidence in their abilities.

Competing with others is also a part of being a dancer and it can either be done individually or by group depending on the event. There are some dance competitions in New Jersey that you can join and try to be the best among the others. Here are some essential tips for preparing yourself and your teammates for an upcoming contest.

Joining these competitions will let you experience the different types of emotions which a person could feel aside from being a physically exhausting activity. Emotional and mental preparation is needed due to these things. You might feel happy in competing, disappointed when making mistakes, nervous before the routine and even during and after it and either sadness or joy depending on the result.

Remember to think straight, keep your chill and take your time when preparing before your chance to dance comes. Check if everything you need is ready including all the pieces of costume you have to wear which includes accessories. This will you relax when you know that there is nothing you have forgotten which prevents you in having additional stress when you forgot something.

Determine the way your time is spent before your chance to dance because each dancer has a variety of ways in handling nervousness. Some may silently and calmly meditate for mind relaxation to keep their thoughts positive by pushing negative ones away. Others are getting themselves excited and review their routine repeatedly or others casually talk with others.

Find out the way your teammates handle their nervousness because they may not be the same with yours. Stay away from those who meditate for mind relaxation if you like getting yourself excited. Do not forget your warm up exercises and let everyone in the team perform them because this helps in getting your body prepared in dancing on stage.

When walking towards your position on the stage, do it confidently and acknowledge the presence of the judges respectfully. Take deep breathes to relax and calm yourself and get all the oxygen you can which is very important. Remember that even though the judges are there to score your routine, they also want to be entertained.

When the performance begins, do not rush the steps and keep your mind on the routine. Getting distracted might cause you to make a mistake so stay focused on your choreography. Use your whole body to execute a routine including your face and let them feel your energy and love for dancing.

Keep smiling when leaving the stage even when you performed badly or greatly with the dance. Congratulate teammates for the performance which you practiced for a number of days and be grateful for the chance to compete. Accept the results and start preparing for the next competition.
