Competitions are a different type of dance. Competition dancers usually have great leg extensions and good turns. The competition dances are usually high energy and have lots of crazy faces. The costumes are usually very sparkly, and sometimes there is not a whole lot of costume. What judges look for in the dance is usually the difficulty, if everyone is performing together, and if you look like you are having fun. The judges usually look at the girls in the back, because that is how points get taken off. Also if a piece of costume comes off or your hair falls out, you will not score well. So if you are doing a competition make sure your costume is on right and your hair is in place. The competitions never give out huge prizes so it is okay if you do not place first. Competitions are usually more for the experience and to see how other performing arts schools perform. The competition I go to we always get beat by the same school. They enter in lots of numbers and don’t wear a lot of clothing. It must work for them because they always win the highest awards. Always remember it’s for the experience.
I have always given dancers, cheerleaders and gymnast my highest respect because I understand how hard they work, and how strong they must be to succeed. As a basketball player I read this and realize that dancing is in a totally different universe to what i personally am used to and that it is a very talented art.
ReplyDeleteI think dancing is legit. I wish i could be a dancer because then i could pull out my moves if i need to. I understand how much you have to work to be a dancer because you have to do alot of moves that are difficult. They are all very talented and i always wished that i could have been a dancer.
