Hey Dancer, let’s talk about the "boring" stuff.

It’s so easy to fall into the trap of thinking that the only things that matter on a scoresheet are the big tricks; the quad pirouettes, demonstrations of acro and flexibility, and/or the high flying jumps.

From the judge’s table, we can tell within five seconds whether a dancer is relying on trickery or relying on technique.

Flashy moves might catch our eye for a moment, but immaculate basics?

That is the secret language that wins the room.
