What are some of the key things to keep in mind when performing on stage?

Some key thing to keep in mind is when you are performing you are doing it for other people and you are no longer just dancing for yourself. Understand your stage set up and who is watching. Also keep in mind how much time you have. You never want to get down so much to a point that people are tired of watching you. Your eyes should always look out and beyond and never just watch your feet dance. You face and how you act on stage is a big part of performing so make sure you are aware of your expression . There are lots more things to keep in mind but these are some quick tips you can use to start with.

How to do well in a battle with judges?

When it comes to battle where there are judges there are a few thing you should keep in mind. 1st you are dancing to please the judges so before the battle start ,go ask each judges what are they looking for as far as style. Never get trap and do style or technique that you are not good at ,just because the other guy is getting down with it don’t mean you have to. Try not to over dance your set.. It is very good to keep your set under 1 min or so . Start out the set showing some groove then hit a sick moves if the music let it. The most important thing for each set is your hits, always keep it clean , hard and show level when hitting. The final things to keep in mind is that any time there is a battle with judges it will be base on the taste of each judges, if you the type of person that hate to loose and always want everyone to think the same way you think then battling ( with judges ) might not be best for you.
