I actually understand that very well-- not from leading at competition ever, but this semester when I was mentoring Newcomers we had a session...
Well that's much smaller than our team, so that's a little bit different. Our team generally has incoming Newcomer classes of about 30-40 dancers,...
I just want to say that I give leaders all the credit in the world. This past year I started leading Newcomers occasionally when followers showed up...
During one of our coachings our team goes to on Mambo our coach saw my partner and I doing-- I don't know if they have a technical name, but they're...
Maybe not a suggestion specifically for you, but generally for your team. I think our team has a sort of similar structure in which Captains teach...
On that same note we had one guy on our team who fell asleep under a table because he was so sure that they didn't make their final at Holy...
Weave. And it's not like she's totally clueless, she did place in Gold Standard at Harvard this semester, however she even admits she hasn't...
That is what she was telling me to do, which, like I said, also seemed odd to me. But in the end she is the one placing in Gold at Harvard, so...
I tend to keep my head more upright, however that may be from inexperience and ignorance of better placement more than anything. I actually have a...
Well other pieces of advice that I was given as a Newcomer have (I come to find out) ended up untrue-- for example the idea that bright clothes or...
The major problem was that the costume came in on the Thursday before MIT-- so we had one practice in it on Thursday night, but we only did Latin,...
Okay, I had a competition nightmare at MIT during standard when I got tripped by mistake by another follower and came very close to falling on my...
My partner and I are about perfectly proportional to one another-- or at least that's how it feels. I come up to a little above his jawline when...
What I've heard is that the majority of comps do them by the order of registration. This can be a problem for collegiate teams when it comes to...
I personally find Latin more difficult-- however, a lot of that is that I come from a ballet background and after having done 15 years of ballet...
Doctor Who, now that would be REALLY cool, just saying. But I'm not hearing the Paso there (maybe it's just because I don't have the space in my room...
I know I have UMass dancers who would love to be sponsored for dresses-- not that we're anywhere near you either. Most college students definitely...
I was told by the best dancer on our team (she's a PreChamp Latin dancer) that one should always try to exit the floor slowly-- be the first on if...
DCDI is far enough away from us in Massachusetts that we are not terribly concerned with a ton of competitors who would be in the pool to come to...
Glad to see comps going up! :) Just going to mention that I would love to see the RPI results go up. Also, you said you've had to turn down comps?...
