Make Your Dancing Look Effortless with These Tips

Creating beautiful and smooth movement is not as easy as it may seem.

How to Look Effortless on the Dance Floor

Have you ever watched someone dance and felt like time stopped for a second just to witness that particular moment? Dancers who move with ease and make their craft look like it’s the simplest thing know how hard it really is. Moving efficiently is not only pleasing to the eye but convenient for the dancer as it allows you to conserve your energy.

Mastering the art of making movement look effortless takes some work but these tips can get you on the right track.

Use Your Power Wisely

The level of energy that you put into every move sets the tone. Too little energy can make everything look dull and too much energy can make things seem forced. It is tricky but learning how to dose your energy just right can add a whole different dimension to your dancing.

Be Aware of Your Surroundings

Dancing helps you develop body awareness which is essential to moving efficiently but being aware of what’s around you and showing it, is just as important. Don’t fix your eyes on the mirror but instead, look around, relax your neck and allow your head to move without restrictions. This will make you look more confident on stage adding an element of effortlessness.

Practice Makes Perfect

The first time you try these tips you might be either too shy or too strong with them. Only by repeating the movements you’ll understand how they are supposed to feel. Give it time, practice and it will get better.
