As dancers, I feel like we collectively have those days where we feel great and positive within ourselves and then the other days that can be the complete opposite. When coming to Shockout, I knew I had a lot of catching up to do in terms of my ability as a dancer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My previous dance training didn\u2019t prepare me enough for Shockout the first time I auditioned, but I knew Shockout was where I wanted to train; it felt like home. I made it my goal to go back to college and enrol in dance, alongside training in Commercial and Hip Hop classes in the evening, to fully prepare myself for the next audition. I had no doubt that I was going to be accepted to Shockout the second time round because I knew I\u2019d worked hard to improve in the areas I was weakest.<\/p>\n

Instead of taking that as a negative and thinking I\u2019m never going to be good enough I used it as motivation to work as hard as I could whilst training.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tips\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Dont be Intimidated be Inspired<\/b><\/h3>\n

when you meet fellow dancers that are at a more advanced level than you don\u2019t be intimidated, be inspired. Those advanced dancers are the type of people you want to surround yourself with because you will be subconsciously working harder to reach or surpass their level.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Set Yourself Achievable Short term Goals<\/b><\/h3>\n

it\u2019s important to set goals if you\u2019re wanting to grow as a dancer. Set yourself simple goals such as \u201cBy the end of the month I want to sit deeper in all 3 splits\u201d. <\/i>Setting goals helps you create discipline for yourself and discipline is essential for your success in training. Furthermore, when you see progress this will inspire you to continue with your training!<\/p>\n

3. Stay focused and Stay Consistent <\/b><\/h3>\n

Not everyday is positive, some days you do feel like you\u2019re running on empty and question absolutely everything. Try to understand that you\u2019re training for yourself and the only person you\u2019re in competition with is YOURSELF whilst training\u2026 you\u2019ll reach your goals, surpass your targets and thoroughly enjoy every minute of it. Remember that if Shockout wanted you to be a finished product you\u2019d be working in the industry already!<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 <\/span>Experiment with your training<\/b><\/h3>\n

Be yourself because there\u2019s no one else like you. Be authentic and experiment with your training, add your own style to your movement and\u00a0 <\/span>take a variety of classes (not just the ones that you\u2019re most comfortable in), so you can become the best possible version of yourself. It\u2019s amazing seeing the individuality of your peers when you\u2019re dancing in lesson together.<\/p>\n
