Dance Talent Competitions And Shows On Television

By Karina Frost


Movement, in all its forms, is and has always been a favorite hobby and past time for children and adults. While some children take lessons from an early age, others either learn in adulthood, or not at all. For those with experience, there are often a number of different dance talent competitions. Whereas, while there are some competitions for beginners, the skills required, and prizes offered are quite slim in comparison.

Most of these competitions and contests require that individuals be separated into different groups by age, style or experience. Even those that encompass all styles often have separate categories. One competition in which many different styles can be found are those like Do You Think You Can Dance and America's Got Talent.

All have different rules and guidelines. Whichever competition one finds oneself in, it is important to follow those listed at all times. Otherwise, dancers can be faced with the possibility of disqualification

It is also important to be creative in style as well as choreography. When a dancer has style with a sense of self and self-confidence, one can often go quite far in a contest. Whereas, individuals lacking either great choreography or self-confidence often do not make it to the semi-finals or finals.

Dancers may also want to peruse a number of related blogs. Whether ballet, jazz, modern, tap or improvisation, there are those which focus on a specific style. Although, there are also those which incorporate all different forms and style of dance under different headers.

Individuals can also share with others on a blog and gain important perspective and ideas for present and future routines. At times, these connections can often lead to the formation of a team which provides a broader scope for future competitions. Beyond that, individuals can make new friends of like mind to meet up with at different competitions and other events in the future. At times, these connections can often lead to lifelong friendships and relationships.

When participating in online forums and discussions, it is important to remain kind at all times, even among difference. The only discussion should be about contests and movement, not lifestyles, politics or religion. Otherwise, there can be heated conversations and broken dreams which might have otherwise been realized.

For one thing, being out of line with others on an online blog or forum can often get one removed from a website. Whereas, when individuals can get along, then a great deal of information and knowledge as well as routines can be shared freely and openly. After which, individuals can decide whether or not to incorporate those ideas into future performances and routines.

When Do You Think You Can Dance might be considered a reality show due its single focus, America's Got Talent is more of a variety show. As such, it is important to recognize when dancers are on these shows, that it is truly a calling. Most often dance contests are going to be a more locally based event than one which spans across time and space.
