It prepares your muscles joints mind for the physical demands of dancing skipping it can lead to injuries fatigue or even poor performance in your routines so how do you warm up properly start with light cardio 3 to 5 minutes begin with something simple like jogging in place jumping jacks or dancing slowly to your favorite song This increases your heart rate and gets the blood flowing to your muscles dynamic stretches of 5 to 7 minutes do leg swings arm circles and hip rotations these will loosen up your joints and improve your range of motion core activation
2 to 3 minutes a strong core is crucial for balance and control in dance engage your core with exercises like planks mountain climbers or even simple standing side bends to activate your core muscles mistake number two wearing the wrong outfit for dancing believe it or not your outfit plays a huge role in how well you perform during dance practice or a routine many beginners make the mistake of wearing clothes that either restrict their movement or are simply uncomfortable to dance in tight jeans heavy shoes or even overly baggy clothes can all Impact your ability to

on memorizing steps don't just focus on memorizing the steps try to understand the story within the dance itself dancing has its own Parts like the intro pause hook and ending all of which follow the story of the song If you connect the dots between the song Story and the movements you'll find it easier to remember the dance steps because you understand the flow of the story mistake number four forgetting to count the Beat Now understand the dancing step is one thing but if you dance in the wrong beat you mess everything up you have to
be one with the beat and I know it's so hard for beginner if you dance at the party nobody cares if you go with the beat or not but in the audition the judge notice every detail and they are really good at listening to the beat you can start training by understand the basic Rhythm most songs follow a count of four and eight listen to the music and tap your foot or snap your fingers along with it 1 2 3 4 stop and 5 6 7 8 then repeat next count out loud while learning new
moves it may feel awkward but it helps you stay on Tempo finally listen to the song multiple times before you start dancing this will help you recognize beat drops Tempo changes and transitions so you can adjust your movements to match the music mistake number five overthinking the movements many beginners get so focused on trying to perfect every move that they end up over thinking each step this often makes their movements look stiff and unnatural don't get me wrong slaying every move is great but we're talking about beginners here overthinking might be one of the reasons

stiff every time the easy solution is to at least warm up for 10 to 15 minutes each day this will help keep your body loose so when you do decide to dance you won't feel stiff another tip is to relax your shoulders while dancing tension often builds up there making you more self-conscious relaxing them can help you move more freely mist mistake number seven poor posture one of the biggest mistakes beginners make is neglecting their posture it's easy to slouch stick out your hips or hunch your shoulders without even realizing it you might think posture
isn't that important but trust me it plays a huge role in both your dancing and your presence Believe It or Not judges will evaluate your posture the moment you walk in and even by the way you sit people with poor posture often appear as though they don't take care of themselves and can seem awkward in public which is not ideal for an idol let alone a dancer you can start fixing your posture by sitting up straight or even sleeping on a flat surface if your posture needs serious Improvement mistake number eight skipping cooldowns here's the
truth if you think you can just stop dancing and walk away without a coold down you're setting yourself up for muscle soreness and stiffness that'll have you regretting that last practice session skipping this crucial step is like trying to drive a car without checking the brakes bad idea to f fix this incorporate a solid coold down into your routine spend 5 10 minutes stretching and letting your heart rate come back down this not only helps prevent injury but also AIDS in recovery so you're ready to tackle your next practice treat your body like the athlete

section one at a time and work on them slowly before you know it you'll be able to speed up and tackle the whole move confidently now let's discuss the importance of celebrating small wins progress isn't always about mastering the entire routine at once it's those little victories that matter if you finally nail a tricky part take a moment to acknowledge that achievement each step forward is significant and contributes to your overall Improvement mistake number 11 copying without understanding it's super tempting to just mimic what you see other dancers doing but if you don't understand the
technique behind it you're likely to pick up bad habits simply copying movements without knowing why they're done that way can really limit your growth so how do you avoid this start by asking questions about the technique learn why spefic specific moves are performed a certain way what muscles are engaged where your balance should be and so on take the time to break down the steps don't rush through the moves understand the mechanics behind each one and make sure you've mastered the foundational techniques before trying to copy advanced moves mistake number 12 not practicing enough practice
is key to Improvement in dancing without consistent practice you won't build the muscle memory you need to perform smoothly to practice effectively set a regular schedule even if it's just 15 minutes a day consistency is way more important than cramming in Long sessions focus on repetition especially on difficult sections of choreography repeat them multiple times until they become second nature and don't forget to track your progress keep a journal or record yourself dancing to monitor your improvements and keep that motivation High mistake number 13 staring at the floor many beginners tend to look down at
the floor while dancing which can really affect your posture balance and confidence to keep your head up try engaging with your audience or practicing in front of a mirror to maintain eye contact remember good posture is about keeping your head up which will help you move more confidently fix your gaze at eye level or slightly above it to project confidence and control mistake number 14 relying too much on the mirror mirrors can be great for checking your form but relying on them too much can take away from your ability to feel the movement once you've
practiced looking straight using a mirror it's time to step up try rehears in without the mirror or even in front of a crowd keep in mind K-pop idols on stage don't have the luxury of a mirror to guide them they perform with confidence and focus break this habit practice without the mirror try running through routines without using it to develop a better awareness of your body's movement you can even close your eyes for a few seconds during practice to rely more on your Body Sensations rather than visual feedback use the mirror sparingly check your form
occasionally but don't let it dominate your entire practice session mistake number 15 not committing to the moves hesitating or holding back can make your dancing look weak and less engaging full commitment is crucial for a strong performance so how do you commit fully trust yourself even if you're unsure about a move go all in it's better to make a bold mistake than to look hesitant practice with intention treat each rehearsal as if you're performing in front of an audience commit fully to each step and before you dance visualize yourself executing the moves perfectly and confidently
mistake number 16 forgetting about Style dancing isn't just about following steps you need to bring your own personality and flare into the routine without style your performance can feel flat to add style inject your personality into each move think about how you can make it your own and add a personal touch that reflects who you are play with Dynamics by varying the intensity speed or flow of your movements to keep things interesting and don't hesitate to watch other dancers for inspiration observe how they Infuse style into their routines and experiment with adding a similar flare
