just remember that u are performing not 4 u to become popular but to entertain other people. i know that it's not easy to perform but the consequence is,u must perform by your heart. coz it is d heart that helps u to show your emotions..

Funny and shorter is a winning combination. Get your humor in at the beginning. Have some real substance in the middle. You won't change life as we know it. Focus on one or two things: More dances, better DJs. You  will listen more to them (the student body).    Be self deprecating, but not too much. Skits are over done as is rap singing your message. Be sincere in your message. Everyone will already know you by now, so just be yourself. Don't over reach. Leave the audience with a gentle zinger (humor), but don't obscure the reason for voting for you. "You are the one who will listen and implement change." I teach high school.

Move a lot. Jump around and act like the crowd loves you. Be confident in yourself and just relax your muscles. When you are doing your forms, just act like your in class or by yourself...remember that the judges like to see confidence and good technique...Good Luck!!!

I got straight in on Saturday.i didnt get searched which was a shock as they normally search everyone.\n\nWhat a night though.Tiesto was stunning.he built the whole set up that by the end when he played Adagio,the whole room was in tears i think!!what a ledge he is.\n\nDavidb213 do you like the word contraband by any chance??!!lol im only joking mate!\n\nWomen can put thier gear in their bra's and us men can stick them in our boxers.but make sure you wear tight ones and not loose ones!\n\nThis guy i know went to Cream once and the bouncers caught him in the toilets.so they chucked him out.he got back in and the bouncers saw him again.so they grabbed him and took him "out the back" into some corridor.he though he was gonna get his head kicked in.but they didnt.all they did was see how much gear he had,told him he had too much on him and that he'd only need a certain amount for the night.so they took a few bits off him and left with enough to get wrecked!!the bouncers are generally ok in Cream.thyere the dodgiest people there!!!

if you really get your child into it, they could become professional and open thier own studio. i just wanted to say that there are other types of dance out there than just tap shoes and ballet. i'd imagine there are local youth groups who perform hiphop and have never really thought of giving lessons. theres also all sorts of dances that your child could learn. if your dutch, there is that dance with the pointed hats, braids and clog shoes. if your african there is that dance in the red cloak and rainbow necklaces with the wooden stick. if your only thinking tap or ballet id say create your imagination today. you get my point!

I'll give you tips for preparing and for the actual tryouts if you decide to try out!\n\nAsk cheerleaders on the team for tips.\nFind a good gymnastics center in your area, and have skills such as back-hand-springs, aerials, front tucks, back tucks...\nUnless you are really tiny and are going to be a flyer, you need to get some muscle and lift some weights at least 3 times a week. Your going to be lifting PEOPLE and WEIGHT for every stunt. \nHave a solid jump.\nRUN. Fun a few miles every week. Start off at 1/2 a mile and work your way up. You need to train yourself or else you will get exhausted real fast. It may seem like a lot, but to keep up in cheerleading YOU NEED THIS.\nStrengthen your core. Sit ups help, but healthy eating does wonders. The core helps with good jumps and stunts.\n\nBe fit, on time and enthusiastic. Be prepared and alert to follow instructions. \nKeep a positive attitude. Always have a smile on your face! \nListen to your captain/instructor.\nDon't be late for ANYTHING.\nBe sure to stretch real good before and after tryouts. Don't attempt moves unless you already know them or have trained for them. It will cause injury and annoy other team mates. \n\nGood luck and have fun in cheerleading!

I'm not a coach, but both of my daughters cheer.  I attend 3/4 or more practices a year.  One thing that I have learned is that if you have a really good base, you've got something.  One year, one of the girls couldn't do the toe touch, no matter how hard she tried.  To compensate, they did a pair toe touch.  The girl lifted another girl who did the toe touch.  If she's willing to keep trying to learn the tumbling, then add her to the team.  Her other attributes will be an asset to the squad and her downfall can be worked around.

in their webpage:\n"" More about what we do  \nWe have been performing since we were very little. We have performed across the US including performances for Radio Disney, Norwegian Cruise Line and The Macy's Parade. Right now we are very busy with our Kids CAN Make a Difference Tour. When we're not performing; we're doing school work, taking music lessons and practicing. But, we’re still kids and we love to play. Right now our favorite things to do are play with our American Girl Dolls (check out the March 2006 AG magazine, we'll be in it) and challenge each other with Dance Dance Revolution and play with our dogs. Our best friends are CJ and Sam, who love lots of the same things we do.\n\nOur favorite TV show is The Suite Life of Zach and Cody (scroll down to the picture below). Our favorite DJ's are BB Good and Erin K, on Radio Disney. Today, our favorite songs are from The High School Musical. \n\nLast year we had the great honor of performing in the Macy’s Day Parade on the Discovery Kids Tuttenstein float. We got to meet Jeff Timmons from 98 degrees; he performed on the float with us. We also saw Raven Simone and were able to take her picture. We loved NewYork and had a great time! ""

I'm familure with teen challenge, it's a great program, especially if your trying to kick a habit or get way for bad influences. sorry I don't know anything about Disney, OK. but I would highly recommend it

I'm totally addicted (again) to the show this season.  But this year something is new.  I'm voting every single week.  I adore Benji and Donyelle and will continue to vote for them until they WIN (I hope).  They make magic together when they dance, and I could watch them for hours.\n\nActually I think all the dancers are so much better this season so it's sad to see people go each week, but I'm still pulling for B&D.\n\nFYI watching the final cut this week right now on SF Bay area Fox\n (channel 2).\n\nThanks for asking.....what fun!

Probably not a good idea for me to be giving a potential stalker:\n\nhttp://www.nba.com/suns/dance/dancers0607_index.html\n\nIt specifically mentioned audition information there.  My assumption would be that some/many of the current dancers would be on-hand that day.

great idea! get books from the library that help you with cheerleading and getting back into shape. i got this really good book that teaches you EVERYTHING you need to know about cheering and coaching. it's called    the ultimate guide to cheerleading. by leslie wilson. it is really good and can help you get back in there! so ask around.. ask the cheerleaders in your college and see if they can help you get started! just go for it!

I actually really did well- the spa was a nice place and the gal was great. I lost 2.5 inches off my midsection alone and it did not come back! At the time I was a womens size 16. I am now a teen size 10 but I still hate my arms- thats 38 lbs from excercise and diet- so I want to go back and have my arms done before the holidays- I was very pleased at how nice it made my skin feel too- I consistaly lost something everywhere thru the series of 4 that I had done and would do it again.(the seaweed smells ugh though-make sure your going straight home after because you can't shower till 8 hours past-also where non special underclothes as they get seaweed gunk on them and a change of undies to wear home with a plastic bag for the worn ones---- it does wash out

Local/community theater is a good idea. It'll give her an idea of just how hard acting (and theater) is. I've helped the redhead a few times with shows her company has put on. It's no cakewalk.

Sadie,\n\nI agree w/ blackcorgie.  It is fine to be a dancer, but you will regret performing for friends.  Why don't you consider getting one of your colleagues to do it instead?
