Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A lot of dancers are told to “just smile more” or “feel the music”… but what if facial expressions in dance are actually a TRAINED skill?
In this episode, I’m breaking down 3 huge myths about facial expressions and performance quality that keep dancers looking awkward, disconnected, or uncomfortable on stage — even when they’re technically strong dancers.
We’ll talk about:
✨ Why expression does NOT just come naturally
✨ Why confidence usually isn’t the real issue
✨ How dancers can actually train performance skills intentionally
If your dancer struggles with stage presence, performance quality, or connecting emotionally on stage, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on — and what to do about it.
