It’s no secret that stretching can reduce muscle tension and increase range of motion. It can also help you master moves you didn’t realize you had before. Check out this 30 day challenge from blogilates that can have you mastering a split in no time!
2. Practice and Develop Musicality
You often hear your instructors talk about “musicality” within the songs that you’re dancing to, but what exactly is musicality? According to the ever reliable Urban Dictionary, musicality is a dancer’s ability to interpret musical elements into competitive choreography. This can involve listening to the song to the song several times in order to break down and isolate different instruments or voices within it. For some extremely useful tips on how to sharpen your musicality, visit this Steezy blog post on the topic.
3. Relate to the Music
