Tips for Dancing in Stage Shows

One of the most exciting things you can do as a dancer is participate in a stage show. There’s nothing like having the stage to yourself and giving it all you’ve got. Most dance studios offer stage show experiences, sometimes called “showcases” or “spotlight shows”. Here are some tips to help you out in planning for your next performance in a spotlight show or showcase:

Preparation Stage:

Practice the way you want to perform. Don’t forget to practice all the little things like smiling and looking up. Sometimes it helps to actually visualize the audience being in front of you while you practice. Practice in front of a live audience if possible. If there are other students or instructors present while you practice, ask them to watch you perform and give constructive feedback. Don’t wait until the night of the show to “turn it on”.

Hello. Its louis here. I'm clacking this to you on my phone in my dressing room here at studio 8H, right in 30 rockefeller center, in Manhattan, new york city, new york, america, world, current snapshot of all existence everywhere.

Tonight I'm hosting Saturday Night Live, something I zero ever in my life saw happening to me. And yet here it is completely most probably happening (I mean, ANYTHING could NOT happen. So we'll see).

I've been working here all week with the cast, crew, producers and writers of SNL, and with Lorne Michaels. Such a great and talented group of people.

And here we are in the middle of New York City, which was just slammed by a hurricane, leaving behind so much trouble, so much difficulty and trauma, which everyone here is still dealing with every day.

Last night we shot some pre-tape segments in greenwich Village, which was pitch black dark for blocks and blocks, as it has been for a week now.
