Traits To Look For In A Dancer During A Latin Dancing Greater Toronto Area Competition

By Karen Patterson


The simple act of swaying the human body, sometimes to a particular rhythm, is artistic. Dancing is not only a form of enjoyment but also a way of expressing oneself. Some people choose to express joy, anger, disappointment, etcetera through this form of entertainment. It can either be vigorous, smooth, random or choreographed. A Latin dancing Greater Toronto Area competition aims to look out for the best individuals who are capable of arresting the attention of a particular audience.

One of them is the ability to move to the rhythm of a song no matter how slow or fast it is. While doing this, they should be able to add in new and unique styles without going off the beat. If at all they move out of the beat they should proceed with confidence and get back to the rhythm. This is a show of confidence on their part as they will have owned up their mistakes.

Accordingly, the dancers are supposed to be flexible enough. To change from one style to another easily, it is required to have a flexible body that can manage to incorporate different styles with a smooth flow. Judges search for unique moves and the only way to come up with one is by being flexible. Flexibility also helps in synching with different rhythms of songs which can either be fast or slow. This trait also leads to having self-confidence while performing.

Everyone has unique qualities that define who we are, and one of them is dancing. Sometimes it can be a natural talent. This comes as a plus as one does not have to struggle during the competition. However, the talent should be adorned with sufficient training and hard work for commendable results. The training is not usually hard for a talented person as it is easier for them to move with any new style.

The competitors are also required to have a purpose as to why they are entering the race. Doing something without a purpose is usually meaningless. Having a purpose and a goal set for themselves will help them work hard to achieve them. They must have a story that led them to get into the race and one that they hope to make after the race.

The individual must have a sense of purpose. They should have a motive behind each move they make. It should come from a story that they are either trying to create or have already experienced. They should have a goal that they are aiming to reach. It should not be meaningless to them. This purpose is obtained and exhibited in different ways, which will always come out.

There is also the aspect of time consciousness. This is not only observed during a choreography but also when required to attend the training. They should be available for the competition on the required time. This will assure the judges that they are ready to perform.

In conclusion, a good dancer has fun while performing and knows their purpose. All attributes listed above are looked into during these races and should, therefore, be observed and considered during a competition. These races bring people from different areas together hence encourage unity. They should reach out to many people from a wide range of areas to discover new talents.
