3 Confidence
“Imagine yourself in a bubble. Shut everything out and listen to the music. This is actually quite easy to do as you are spotlighted, making it difficult to see anybody else but your partner, who should always have your full focus. If you make a mistake, improvise. Think of a dance as a threeminute drama. You cannot let a little step out of time spoil the rest of the three minutes, so keep up the rhythm, tempo and mood. Never think of a mistake as a mistake. Think: “This is the way I am supposed to move.” You have to convince the audience— including your partner.”
