DANCE TEAM TECHNIQUE

Whether it’s jazz, pom or hip hop, there is always an element of technique that can be improved upon! School dance teams are always working hard to on their routines. However, while you spend the majority of time at practice focusing on your routines, you shouldn’t forget to continue improving upon the most critical element in dance ... TECHNIQUE! Technique is the basis of all fundamentals of dance, from holding your body correctly while performing, to executing skills properly in a routine. Every dance team uses technique. It is always there—in practice, in performance, and especially in competition. Each dance move requires technique: turns, leaps, kicks, extension, etc. Strong technique extends across all areas of dance, regardless of the style of your routine and is essential for a competitive team.
