Read these tips from Red Door Teachers! 

Miss Alexi has a tip for tap: Use your plié! This will help ground you to connect you more to the tempo/rhythm and will also make your taps more impactful. 

Miss Montana with contemporary and acro: Contemporary: Use your plie as much as possible. Always listen to your music! It is so beautiful to see a dancer convey what the music is trying to say. 

 Acro: The key to mastering a new skill is repetition, and breathe when you’re upside down!!

Miss Alexa says for jazz you need to strengthen your core & your upper body! Jazz demands precision of movement just like ballet, and precision requires STRENGTH. 

Miss Emily says don’t be afraid to look/feel a little silly! Hip hop is all about finding the groove and the rhythm- when the moves are foreign to your body they will always feel weird BUT keep working on it and one day the groovy light bulb will go off!
