@ayane.zwak: Hello new dancers, and welcome to the wonderful, crazy, thrilling world of competition season! I'm so excited for you to experience this. Here's a little advice, especially for the littlest stars among us: Trust Your Training: You have worked so hard in the studio, and your teachers wouldn't put you on that stage if you weren't ready. You know the steps. Now, let your body do the work! Smile and Shine: The stage is your chance to perform, not just do steps. Judges love to see you enjoying yourself! Think of your face like the biggest part of your costume. Use your eyes and your smile to tell the story. Take a Deep Breath: Nerves are totally normal—I still get them! If you start to feel fluttery, take a big breath in through your nose, hold it, and let it out slow through your mouth. It helps your body remember to relax. Mistakes Happen: If you forget a step or something goes wrong, don't stop! Keep dancing! Judges often look for how you recover and keep your energy up. Chances are, the audience won't even notice. Be a Good Teammate: Cheer on your fellow dancers, from your studio and other studios! A positive attitude makes the whole day more fun for everyone Most importantly, you are on this journey to grow, learn, and make memories with your dance family. Go out there, work hard, and enjoy every moment. I am so proud of you! Break a leg! #dancer #competetivedancer #danceadvice #dancerlife #trusttheprocess
