Her majesty says:
| "GO FOR IT! After you have taken classes, drilled technique and practiced faithfully, try to perform as much as possible - even if it’s just for your friends and family! I always felt that one performance experience equaled about five classes - it will really get you thinking on your feet!" |
| “What Would FiFi Do?" Watch footage of your favorite dancers in performance, analyzing the nuances that make up that performer’s signature style. Then, channel that dancer, trying to replicate her unique style -- but to a different song. This will force your brain to think outside of your “dance comfort zone,” and aid you in thinking of new ways to put your own technique and combinations together. |
