I’m not particularly a fan of long-term goals. Sure, it’s great to have that future dream to work towards, but it’s the short-term goals that inspire action. And hey, many people won’t agree with me. That’s what this article is about!

Get that perfect “dance figure”
The European languages are members of the same family. Their separate existence is a myth. For science, music, sport, etc. Europe uses the same vocabulary.
The languages only differ in their grammar, their pronunciation and their most common words. Everyone realizes why a new common language would be desirable: one could refuse to pay expensive translators. To achieve this, it would be necessary to have uniform grammar, pronunciation and more common words.

Learning Footwork
If you dance on your toes and heels and not set everything your entire foot, then it’s kind of like jump-roping – you’ll be ready to jump from one place to another.
This skill is like a triple-threat for basketball players, or even your ready stance for football players… for us dancers, it’s the same thing, same idea – be in a position where it’s easy for you to go anywhere.” So when you’re dancing, don’t always be flat footed! Being on the balls of your feet will help you spring and rebound off the floor much more easily.
Losing 5 Pounds
Let’s start with the basics – stabilizing your balance. To do this, feel how your weight is distributed through each move. For example, if you have to lift your left foot up, then most of your weight should be on your right foot. Maintain a sturdy base the next time you dance and you’ll notice how much more controlled your bottom half is! Play around with different positions, whether it’s on one foot or both, so you get comfortable with where your weight is and how to shift between them.
Specific Technique
I’m one of those people that groan when the choreographer says “there’s a little bit of floorwork..” But once I do it, I realize how awesome it is. For starters, it trains your athleticism by taking your body out of its comfort zone of being upright. Second, it makes the piece look so much more dynamic because that whole level change to get to the floor is a chance to do something cool. And lastly, working with the floor opens up a whole new door for creative choreography concepts!
