In this track, you will be introduced to different approaches to competing from some of the most successful dancers in the country! "Competing Basics: Everything & the Kitchen Sink!" (Amartia) Learn what pitfalls to avoid when preparing for a competition. How to tweak your dance to meet the expectations of the judges, without letting go of your personal style. How to overcome stage-fright, prepare your costuming, music, dance and ego to handle the unpredictability of the world of competitions. Giving yourself a pep-talk before hitting the stage, dealing with wining, losing and everything that goes in-between. Amartia will share her experiences at competitions both on and off the stage from 4 years of being on the competition circuit. to REGISTER GO TO WWW.BELLYDANCENATIONALS.COM
