Warm up and cool down properly before and after any class, performance or competition to avoid injury. For details, go to my injury prevention and treatment page.

Don't worry if you mess up at a performance. Chances are that no one in the audience will notice.

If the music stops, keep dancing until you are finished your dance or until you're told to stop.

Don't eat (a lot) right before a performance.

Try to take up as much of the stage as you can and make eye contact with the audience.

Smile and remember to enjoy yourself!
