with Michelle Joyce
What makes a captivating dancer? A captivating dancer knows how to draw in the audience
and takes them on an emotional journey with every movement and expression. A captivating
dancer shows us a different way of listening to the music without overpowering it
and teaches us that there is beauty in even the simplest movements. A captivating
dancer knows how to build drama and set up those "wow" moments.
Unfortunately, most dancers simply focus on the mechanics of their movements and
don't train themselves in the art of performing. Many dancers mistakenly think that
performance skills cannot be learned and feel frustrated that it does not come naturally.
Having sharp isolations and cute combinations are a result of training your muscles,
but incorporating stage presence, emotion and musical awareness into your dance
require training of a totally different kind. The exercises in this DVD are uniquely
designed to help you become a better performer and to push your dance presentation
to the next level.
