    TO P IC 2: WH AT IT TAKE TO BE A DAN CE R? DAN CE SKIL L S

    Posture: Alignment: Balance: Coordination:

    Control: Flexibility: Mobility: Strength:

    Stamina: Extension Isolation:


    Posture:
    Good posture is important in dance because it provides you with a strong based to build the rest of
    the skills onto. A good posture is the correct formation of the body where your bones and muscles
    can hold you upright against gravity.

    Alignment:
    Alignment focuses more on the placement of your body, not so much the way you are standing. This
    skill is especially important if you are dancing with a group of people, since you want to be in the right
    place to stay in sync with the choreographed routine.
    Balance:
    This skill is important it helps you achieve elaborates moves while dancing. Keeping your balance will help
    you stay upright while performing., allowing you to avoid a slip and falling. Good balance can also help you
    expand the types of moves you can execute.

    Coordination:
    Being coordinated is dance is one of the most important skills. You can either be coordinated while dancing
    alone or in group. By yourself. Coordination refers to knowing where your body should be and when. Having
    a good coordination will help your moves look smooth to the audience. In a group setting, coordination is
    essentially being in sync with the other dancers, making the performance look fluid.
    Control:
    Having a good control will make you a solid dancer. This is when you can start and stop performing
    on command. This also applies while standing still during a performance, it is important to control
    your stance so that you do not appear to be moving.

    Flexibility:
    This skill is nice to have in dance because you will be able to perform almost any move. The term
    flexibility means the range of motion that is available to you through your joints. If you are flexible,
    it will be easy for you to do things like splits.
    Mobility:
    Similar to flexibility, mobility is important because you will be able to transition from move to move
    very quickly without much struggle. Quickness is often a term that goes hand in hand with mobility.

    Strength:
    Good dancers possess a lot of strength mainly in their legs and arms. This allows them to push off the
    floor elegantly and execute moves without struggle.

    Stamina:
    This is very important if you compete in dance tournaments or long routines. Stamina is the amount
    of energy that you can expend during an activity. Having a lot of stamina will keep you in shape
    during the routine and keep you from being sloppy.
    Extension
    Often used in ballet, extension refers to the ability to rise their leg up to their head. Extension is
    used in many other moves in the world of dance. Being able to extend will do you well when it
    comes to learning how to dance.

    Isolation:
    Another vitally important skill to dancing is being able to isolate. Isolation refers to moving only
    one part of your body while keeping everything else still. This will give you rhythm and wow the
    audience.
