The "Inside Edge": Simple Ways to Refine Your Routine

Does your routine feel strong in the studio, but look different once you get under the stage lights?

Preparing for the stage is about more than just checking your leaps, jumps, and turns. It is about how the dance moves together as one. As judges, we look at how the entire group presents the work. If the formations feel crowded, the movement feels rushed, or the energy dips at the end, those moments are what we notice most.

I have put together my "5 Points for the Inside Edge," a simple guide designed to help you find the small spots in your dance that need a little more care. From balancing your formations to making sure your dancers stay engaged until the final pose, this guide gives you practical ways to polish your work.

Some of what you’ll find inside:

• The Window Check: Simple ways to ensure every dancer is seen.

• The Level Logic: How to add variety to your formations.

• The Noise FIlter: Cleaining the “grey areas” in execution.

• Plus Other Simple Fixes: Easy adjustments you can bring to your next rehearsal.
