Body awareness facial expressions (become aware of your concentration face and how to mask it, smiling and when it's appropriate, using facial expressions as an accent/enhancement) hands and arms (are they in the right place and what are they doing while you're focusing on a move) Posture (most important and often neglected - how to put your best chest forward) Body Lines (what are they and how can we maximise them) The hair dilemma - We don't often plan our hairstyle but it can be as complementary to your dance as your costume! Getting your mind into the zone - some tips and tricks to avoid stage fright, nerves, and what to do if something goes wrong
