For dancers?

Question

I just started taking dance this year and I really love it how can i get better? I love it so so much and want to get to level 2. teachers are always saying practice at home but when there arent any dances and you arent allowed to video tape classes what should you practice? I take hiphop, jazz,and ballet any and every comment ist good!

Answer 1

well you can get the song and play it at home and do the dance but then pick a different song and make up ur own dance so then u get to know the movement better! but dont just mix around the dance u r doing now make it ur own!

hope i helped!

Answer 2

stretch constantly. while watching tv, reading or studying, doing things with your hands. just sitting in your stradle for 15 minutes a day while watching tv will help tremendously. and take all the classes you can. keep up your technique, and ALWAYS take at least 1 ballet class. ballet is key. even things like doing cardio to get your stamina up (speed walking or jogging for 20 or 30 mins a day), things like crunches, jumping jacks, pushups, twists, etc. any kind of exercise or stretch can only help!

i'm a dancer too. hope you love it as much as i do!

Answer 3

If you are looking to get better fast you could always practise, not exactly the dance, but certain moves/positions etc in front of a morrior and make the tiny little corrections yourself.

Watch others while you are at dancing classes and try to make yourself stand out (in a good way).

The only advice i can give would be to take in every tiny little critisism, because thats what the teachers want from you (even if thy don't expect it) and NEVER look at the ground.

Practise makes perfect, or close to it anyway.
