We received an email that was sent to all studios that participate in the ShowStoppers Competitions. We thought it would be helpful to pass this along to the students:
Tricks of Champions
1. Unless you have a major costume malfunction a la Janet Jackson in the Super Bowl, Keep Going!
2. Save the lip synching for driving in the car.
3. Staring matches with the judges don't earn you extra
points. A quick glance won't hurt but keep your focus on the audience, not the panel scoring you.
4. Be happy! Your personality counts for more than you think.
5. Participate in every part of the competition, classes, awards....live in the moment. The team that plays together stays together and it shows on stage!
