Performance skills are a must for dancers wishing to step into the public arena. Lack of these essential skills can ruin a performance. It is not enough to smile and remember your steps...a dancer must project, exude confidence, engage the audience, and present herself in a glamorous, immaculate light.

This persona demands she pay meticulous attention to every aspect of her personal presentation, from hair, make up to nails, toenails, costuming, jewellery, even the scent of her perfume. A dancer must be familiar with every nuance of the music - Aware of how to work the audience, to guage their mood, and with the ability to dance fluently to live music and work in harmony with musicians.
