Hi everyone! Long time no...post? So today I'm going to start my recital series. I know that quite a few have probably already had their recitals/demonstrations/performances, and mine is this weekend, but to those who still has theirs coming up, I'm going to start posting some (hopefully!) helpful advice about getting ready, and perhaps the day of recital.
My first topic that I am going to cover is the dress rehearsal. I don't know what it is like for every dance studio, but since my recital is this Sunday, my dance studio has a dress rehearsal on Saturday. The full thing spans over 7 hours, but the dancers don't have to be there the whole time, just whenever your 10 minute rehearsal time(s) on the stage are.
Tips and Ideas
-The dress rehearsal is a great time to make sure that you have everything you need for the real performance. So if you forget something, or realize you need another thing, you have time to make sure that you can get whatever you need by the performance.
-When rehearsing a piece onstage, be sure you are doing everything to the fullest extent that you would in the real thing. If you don't, you may not have a good grasp on how it will be when the real thing rolls around. If you are relying on the mirror in your dance studio, or your instructor's cues for a move, to complete an excellent performance, then doing it alone (without the cues or mirror, I mean) will be difficult.
-Ask questions. If there is any doubt about anything, do not hesitate to ask or clarify. Being overly prepared is better than trying to convince yourself that you probably have it, while doubt still resides in the back of your mind.
I hope this helps! I'll continue to post everyday hopefully, but I'm not quite sure how many topics I want to cover yet.
Comment if you have any advice, or questions.
Thanks for reading!
