4 Dance Recital Preparation Tips
4 Dance Recital Preparation Tips
Practice
The key to a successful dance recital is practice. The adage "practice makes perfect" is most definitely true for dance. While practicing during your dance classes is great, so you can get immediate instructor feedback, most likely you'll have to practice a bit at home in order to nail your recital performance. You'll also want to prioritize all the recital rehearsals, too.
Prepare For the Day
Preparation is super important as your dance recital gets closer. You'll want to ensure your dance recital outfit is clean and fits well. Decide on your hair, makeup, and nail polish ahead of time. Make sure you have your tickets, food, drinks, and everything ready for the big day. Know your performance time, too.
Bring Extras of Everything
It's always best to be safe rather than sorry, so you'll want to ensure you have extras of everything in case you lose something. Pack extra hair ribbons and ties, bobby pins, makeup, band aids, tights, and more. Plus, you'll want to ensure you have enough energy, so pack extra water and healthy snacks for the big day.
Try Not to Get Nervous
This can be tough, especially if this is your first recital. However, Dance Workshop advises that you try not to get nervous, and instead just enjoy the show. Plus, for most people, as soon as you step onto the stage, all of your butterflies go away and your hard work and preparation take over. You'll shine like the star that you are!
