Turnout from hips — not forcing knees.

Practice StandardStandard

3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.

  • Count Out Loud

    Count beats aloud when learning — auditory reinforcement fixes timing faster.

  • Section Rehearsal

    Break long routines into 8-count sections — chunking prevents overwhelm.

  • Record Performances

    Film run-throughs to review stage presence and synchronization.

Safety Notes

  • Warm up thoroughly before rehearsal — cold muscles tear easily.
  • Keep floors clean and dry to prevent slips.
